Thoughts for Each Day of the Year
According to the Daily Church Readings from the Word of God
By St. Theophan the Recluse
Tuesday. [Rom. 1:1–7, 13–17; Matt. 4:25–5:13]
After the Lord’s baptism, when the Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove, He was brought down into the wilderness to be tempted. Such is the path common to all. Saint Issac the Syrian notes in one place that as soon as you taste grace-filled consolation, or receive some gift from the Lord—await temptations. Temptations conceal the brightness of grace from one’s own eyes which usually consume every good with self-opinion and self-exultation. These temptations are sometimes external—sorrows, humiliation; and internal—passionate thoughts, which purposely are released, like beasts unchained. Therefore, we must heed ourselves and strictly sort out what occurs with us and in us, to see why it is happening, and what obligations it brings.
