Monday of Cheesefare Week (We have kissed flesh meats goodbye until Pascha)

Dear Ones,

Blessings!

Lent as a Tithe of Our Year 

The gateway to divine repentance has been opened: let us enter eagerly, purified in our bodies and observing abstinence from food and passions, as obedient servants of Christ who has called the world into the heavenly Kingdom. Let us offer to the King of all a tenth part of the whole year, that we may look with love upon His Resurrection.
