"Concerning FaithThe first virtue is faith, for by faith even mountains
are moved and men receive everything they wish, as the Lord said. Each
one, in all glorious and wondrous deeds, is confirmed by his faith. By
our own free will faith either decreases or increases."
St. Paisius Velichkovsky.
"I say thenWalk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the
flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against
the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do
the things that you wish." Galatians 5:16-17
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
