Message from Fr. Ghassan - Sept/Oct 2024

Carrying the cross  Many people think that crucifixion with Christ or self-mortification simply means abstaining from evil and cutting off desires from the heart. This is the negative side that many people know, and they unfortunately think that this is the whole faith, which leads them to fall into despair and despair, feeling suppressed and deprived, and having their powers destroyed. In the end, they often say, openly or secretly, that they wish they could get rid of this religiosity and be freed from worship. This is normal because they did not recognize the positive, happy side, but were content with the negatives.  As for the positive aspect, it is directing man’s capabilities, longings, and desires to work according to the spirit, with a mind enlightened by the knowledge of the loving God, or it is the release of man’s powers to live in the heavenly places while he is still on earth.  It is the love of the crucified Lord and submission to Him through the work of His grace, so that we may live through Him, progressing from glory to glory, walking according to the new man given to us in baptism, as a new creation in Christ Jesus.
