Thoughts for Each Day of the Year
According to the Daily Church Readings from the Word of God
By St. Theophan the Recluse
Thursday. [Rom. 8:22-27; Matt. 10:23-31]
There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. Consequently, regardless of how we hide in our sins now, it is of no use to us at all. The time will come—and is it far off?—when all will come to light. What should we do? Do not hide. If you have sinned—go and reveal your sin to your spiritual father. When you receive absolution, the sin vanishes, as if it never was. Nothing will have to be revealed and shown. If you hide the sin and do not repent, you keep it in yourself, so that there will be something to come to light at the proper time unto your accusation. God revealed all of this to us in advance, so that while still here we will manage to disarm His righteous and terrible judgment upon us sinners.
