The Way of Christ
Be Quick to Ask Forgiveness
Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk said, "Do not think about the sins of your brother but about what in him is better than in yourself." These words are powerful, and can be life changing if we take them as our own. Finding fault only in ourselves is always grace imparting, for it is the way of Christ. As well, being quick to ask others for their forgiveness is always better than waiting for them to ask for yours.
The way of Christ seems difficult, but the more we seek Him out the more His grace abounds, and we can say with the Apostle Paul, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me (Gal 2:20)."
Love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon

This year alone I will have lost five dear friends, including Father James, who were all priests. The upside of this is that I have friends in high places to put in a good word for me. Please pray for Father James, and for his beloved wife, Kh. Martha.
