St. Vladimir's Seminary is offering daily meditations throughout the 40 days of the Nativity Fast. I will be sure to pass on a good many to the parish.

We hear from Ezekiel, teaching as it were in the name of the Lord, when he says, “If the righteous turns away and commits iniquity, I will not remember the righteousness which he committed before; in his sin he shall die” (Ezek. 18.24) …What availed all Solomon’s vast wisdom? … Not even the blessed David was blameless …One example …the fall from the better to the worse of Judas …Learn then, brother, that it is not approved in God’s sight …Do not straightaway attempt extreme discipline; above all things beware of confidence in yourself, lest you fall.
