Thoughts for Each Day of the Year
According to the Daily Church Readings from the Word of God
By St. Theophan the Recluse

St. Theophan the Recluse

Friday. [Acts 27:1–44; John 17:18–26]

   As thou, Father, art in me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us...I in them, and thou in Me (John 17:21–23). This is the golden chain tying us with Divinity! We have fallen away—the Mediator has arisen, Who is one with God the Father, and has become one with us. Becoming one with Him, we are united in Him, and through Him with God the Father. Glory to Thy boundless mercy toward us, O Three-Hypostatic God, Who was well-pleased to establish for us such a bright path to deification! The Lord raises us up high; do not refuse His good gift. Confess His mercy and praise His unspeakable goodness! You think it humble to refuse such a height, but you are actually revealing crude ingratitude and carelessness toward a lofty gift. Know, that there is no middle ground: it is either all or nothing. If you do not want this height, you will remain outside in bitter abasement, both temporally and eternally.
