But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love... for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Pet 1:5-11)

DAILY CONTEMPLATION

September 17, 2025 ~ Thoout 7, 1742

The blessed virtues are like Jacob’s ladder,
and the profane vices are like the manacles that fell off … Peter.
The virtues lead from one to the next,
and carry up the one who chooses them to Heaven.
The vices, by contrast, by their very character
both bring forth and choke each other.
St. John Climacus
