Thoughts for Each Day of the Year
According to the Daily Church Readings from the Word of God
By St. Theophan the Recluse
Monday. [Phil. 1:1-7; Luke 4:37-44]
I must preach the Kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. Our priesthood needs to take for therefore am I sent as an immutable law. The apostle commanded them, in the person of Saint Timothy to be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort (II Tim. 4:2). The Lord and the Holy Spirit, which filled the apostles on the day of Pentecost, brought the truth to the earth, and the truth walks upon the earth. Its bearers are the mouths of God’s priests. Whoever amongst them closes his mouth blocks off the path to truth which asks to enter the souls of believers. That is why the souls of believers grow weary, not receiving the truth, and the priests themselves must feel weariness from the truth, and the are weighed down by the weariness that has no relief. Unburden yourself from this weight, priest of God; let forth streams of God’s words unto your joy and the enlivening of the souls entrusted to you. If you see that you yourself do not have the truth, get it: it is in the Holy Scriptures; and filling yourself with it, pass it on to your spiritual children. Just do not be silent. Preach, for it is unto this that you are called.
