DAILY CONTEMPLATION

June 2, 2026 ~ Pashons 25, 1742

Comfort and blessing continuously flow from Him.
The Lord’s grace flutters its wings and casts away all sadness,
and heals the heart with its indescribable balm. Oh, how sweet it is!
No one can withstand the trials of this world without His care or power.
Our fathers compare this Grace with a mother teaching her child to walk.
She stands at a distance and when she sees that he is about to fall
she hurries to him and wipes every tear from his eyes.
Such is the way that God’s Grace deals with man.
Amid his struggles, God’s Grace distances itself just a little
in order to train him to walk in the path of virtue.
But when he is found to be saddened or discouraged,
this Grace hurries to comfort and encourage him.
H.H. Pope Kyrillos VI
