The Church gives us not a system, but a key; not a plan of God's City, but the means of entering it. Perhaps someone will lose his way because he has no plan. But all that he will see, he will see without a mediator, he will see it directly, it will be real for him; while he who has studied only the plan risks remaining outside and not really finding anything. - Fr Georges Florovsky
We have been given a wonderful tool, as taught to us by the Holy Fathers. It is this prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner." Pray this without ceasing, with a firm desire to know God out of love for our Father, our friend, our comforter. Your mind will grow calm, your heart will grow in love, you will refrain from judgment and avoid sin, you will feel peace and contentment and satisfaction, and you will encounter truth.
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. -John 16:26
