"The moon as it waxes and wanes illustrates the condition of
mansometimes he does what is right, sometimes he sins and then through
repentance returns to a holy life. The intellect of one who sins is not
destroyed, just as the physical size of the moon does not diminish, but
only its light. Through repentance a man regains his true splendour,
just as the moon after the period of waning clothes itself once more in
its full light."
St. John of Karpathos.
"How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your
word." Psalm 119:9
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
