Patterns | Book 1 | VESPERS: Ishmael's liturgy

by A Priest Of The Oriental Church

There is a terrible level of consistency in Love.

The sin of one person can propagate a wave of pain and hurt for decades.

True belief is discovered in how one lives. The way of life. That is what truly reveals one’s core beliefs. The theoretical tension between faith and works disappears when one understands belief as the way in which one lives.

The Gospel is wild and dangerous.

Prayer. Purity. Blessing. That’s all. Nothing else is needed.

Truth is not an idea to be grasped but a Person to know and love.
