TONITE/TOMORROW—Άγιος Σωφρόνιος Εσσεξ
ΑΠΟΨΕ / ΑΥΡΙΟ — Saint Sophrony of Essex
“Stand at the brink of the abyss of despair, and when you see that you cannot bear it anymore, draw back a little and — have a cup of tea.”
🍃🎶💐 You were shown to be a most-fervent son of our Venerable Father Silouan the Athonite, O Sophrony, bearing the mind of Christ and one who studied divine things, through your wise words, you illumined the West, and through your godly life, you led towards the Light, lifting them up towards God the Father, Whom may we ever behold, through your prayers.
🍃🎶💐 Φιλοσοφίᾳ ἁγίᾳ τῆς Ἐκκλησίας Σωφρόνιε, καὶ τῇ πολιτείᾳ Σωτῆρος, Ἁγίων Πάντων συνείχεσο˙ ἀνατολῶν ἐμβιβασθεὶς πρὸς τὴν Δύσιν, θείᾳ νεύσει δίδως, Μοναχισμοῦ χρηστότητα θεοΰφαντον˙ ταῖς λάμψεσιν ἀστράπτων Θείου Παρακλήτου διέλυσας, ψηλαφητὸν σκότος ᾅδου, παντὶ ἐν κόσμῳ εὐχόμενος˙ νοῦν κεκρατηκὼς ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ φαιδρῶς, καὶ Χριστοῦ ἀλήκτως ἐχόμενος, πατρὶ Σιλουανῷ σου, ὁμοῦ ἡμᾶς σωθῆναι εὔχεσθε.
