Keeping all of God’s commandments — such a program expresses perfection. And yet it can be there to hide the dangerous illusion of Pharisaic. The name has a pejorative meaning in contemporary language. In the beginning, this is the case it was not. The Pharisees appeared to be religious reformers. During decline, they preached a return to the faithful fulfillment of the Mosaic Law and folk traditions. How come that did Jesus meet them so sharply? It’s a secret, above which we have to think about a lot. The Mosaic Law it contains God’s words and rules for how people should behave. The word is inseparable from the one who utters it and to But be perfect to whom he turns. If the love of God is forgotten and to the neighbor, the law, though divine, loses its meaning and it becomes tyrannical, an opportunity to judge the weak. The team there was a tragedy that Jesus, the personal Word of God, he was sentenced to death for the divine law. The law is not protected from this danger either gospel, taken literally, without spirit. And in that sense Dostoevsky’s novel The Idiot can be explained is in it portrayed a prince who acts according to the principles of the Gospel, but he does not know the person of Christ and never turns to Heavenly Father. He ends up in an institution for the mentally ill. After all, what would the teachings of Christ be without Christ was among us, and without we’re praying: Our Father! In this context, we can also recall the religious crisis of Martin Luther. It was presented to him the ideal of “imitating Christ.” But he understood that this noble goal can become ineffective when you do we imagine that the Savior stands before us as an external pattern, almost like the image we have to reproduce in our lives. Luther sincerely admits that he would he was unable to do so. It is necessary to capture Christ “through faith “to be in us and only in cooperation with him we can think of completing the work. Ignatius of Loyola is not so far from this tendency. However, it shows much more specifically how to proceed traditionally. The first contact with Christ is really external – he reads the gospel and man imagines Christ standing in front of us. However, one acquires the words in a meditative prayer aimed at conversation with the Savior, “as a friend, he speaks with another friend.” Such a conversation then concludes with the prayer “Father Such daily meditation is essential parts of Ignatius spirituality. Ignac is convinced that only in this way will one learn to fulfill in a particular life God’s will, which is the first principle of Christian morality.

If Jesus says that we should strive to enter through a narrow gate, we must necessarily strive to follow in his footsteps and along his path. And his footsteps take the form of human feet: they are two, and the tracks from them lead only one direction, always only forward. Never left or right or backward.at the momentarily at the moment

Our faith is not to be narrowed to the premises of churches, but to be permeated throughout our earthly life.

The vocation to holiness – that is, to communion with God – is part of this eternal plan of God, which includes all the men and women of the world because it is a universal vocation.

The life of faith is a matter of the moment. It means how life consists of individual events, so the life of faith consists of moments. What is missed at the moment will not return eternity. Our life of faith must be judged by how it manifests itself at the moment. Our eternity, our salvation, depends on the moments.

God does not exclude anyone because his plan is only love …

THE CLEANSING CHURCH
Let’s look at the heart of Jesus and listen. It is a heart overflowing with God’s love that gives everything, and not even the greatest pain prevents it from loving. He loves with love and suffers voluntarily. His heart is a source of mercy, compassion and forgiveness. In such love, every sin burns.

Praying for souls in purgatory is a duty of love.

God will let us “suffer in a storm to test our faithfulness. It does so for our greater spiritual well-being. At such times, he seems deaf to our prayers. But let us be sure that God hears us, secretly helps us, and strengthens us with His grace to repel any enemy attack. He himself assures us of this in the words of the psalmist: “In tribulation thou hast called me, and I have delivered thee: I have heard thee from behind the vail of the storm, I have tried thee” (Psalm 81: 8).

To get rid of oneself, in the sense – to get rid of all reservations, makes a person truly free, and then he becomes a real tool in God’s hands.

We must all be convinced that we are hanging almost over the abyss of all sins and that only the hair of grace holds us. If he allowed this hair, we would certainly fall into this abyss and commit the most horrific crimes. “If the Lord does not guard the city, its guardians will watch in vain” (Ps 127: 1). If God does not guard the soul from sins, the soul will defend itself in vain on its own …

Church CELEBRATED
at the moment
We believe in eternal life. We believe in a God who rewards and also punishes. We believe in the Teacher – Christ, who taught us everything we need for salvation. Let’s not underestimate our salvation! We look at the soul as a great gift and grace.

The Lamb of God shed his blood on the wood of the cross and saved us from eternal death. His body and blood, sacrificed for us at St. Mass in the transformed bread and wine, gives for spiritual food and for the advances of our resurrection. It becomes for us bread that strengthens us on the path to true freedom and to the new promised homeland, which is the kingdom of God.

The resurrection is the center of the Christian faith. Without the resurrection, everything would lose its meaning.

If Christ did not rise, then our faith is in vain, then our preaching is in vain, and everything is in vain, and we would be the poorest creatures. But since Christ rose from the dead, then everything takes on a new dimension, everything takes on the true meaning, then it is joyful to live, but also to joy joyfully because everything leads to one goal – to the loving arms of God, which is ready for us from eternity.

To love means to live fully.

Surviving the rest of our lives with the risen Jesus is our greatest victory …

In God there are all perfections, therefore it is his a reflection of every good we do. Not surprising us, then, that the answers of the Fathers to this question are very diverse. In patristic times, they are generally distinguished. Two basic tendencies e – From this point of view, the Alexandrian school sees a divine resemblance in the human mind able to know spiritual facts; Antioch the school, on the other hand, admires the human control of all other creatures on earth and the royal dignity of man. Less well known, but very profound, is the opinion of St. Gregory of Nazian. It is based on general accepted ideas that man is an image of the other divine Person, Son, who is the Word of the Father, Greek Logos. Man is the logician, that is, the one who is able to speak, is able to understand another person’s word and tell them who listens to him. He who listens and speaks continues relationship with others. If he listens to Christ, the Word par excellence, he establishes a relationship with God the Father and returns to the blissful state of paradise. In the time before sin, he heard Adam was the voice of God even in the morning breeze (cf. Gn 3: 8) But be perfect that is, as a son sitting at a heavenly table reserved to those who were adopted as sons. Saint Cyril of Thessaloniki, who became the apostle of the Slavs together with Methods, was a persistent reader Gregory of Nazians. He respected him immensely for human beings the words by which he entered into divine kinship. This is also illustrated by one episode narrated in his biography. Before he was to go to Moravia, he was sent as a messenger of the Emperor of Constantinople to the Khazar, to the people, who adopted the Jewish religion. He was accepted by them chief, invited to a feast and asked what social status his family occupies so that he can report a reasonable place. Cyril replied, “My father he sat at the table of the supreme king, but he committed grave transgression, was expelled and stripped of his confidentiality relationship with the king. I am now a poor refugee who trying to gain the lost honor. “If we want to draw practical lessons from these considerations, we come by prayer in which we listen to God, and we turn to him in words, that our resemblance to God, who is the Father, manifests and grows, The Son and the Holy Spirit, the three Persons in eternal conversation. It is also changes our way of understanding good and evil. This means not only listening or not listening to the laws, but also change our personal relationship with the Father in Heaven. Jesus’ conflict is better understood in this context with the Pharisees. They boast of their perfect preserves of the Mosaic Law at a time of decay of ancient morality. And yet they did not honor this Law as the voice of heaven
Father, they applied it mechanically. Referring to the norms of the Law insulted the love that is the meaning of everything what God says

To show the need to read and listen to God’s Word as our life program
Some rulers are known for their generosity. Many  significant events give many benefits and privileges to some citizens. This has happened several times when the head of state has given freedom to some prisoners. It is a grace for them that is undeserved. These prisoners did not have to gain freedom no share. They got it completely free. The centurion of today’s gospel replied to Jesus, “Lord, I am not worthy, that thou mayst enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my servant shall be healed ”(Mt 8.8). Here is the centurion’s humble prayer to Jesus. He begs for mercy for his servant. Jesus is immediately willing to come and help. Then we hear the remarkable the centurion’s answer: “I am not worthy …” The rich officer feels unworthy of for the Lord to come to his house. The entrance to the pagan house was considered by the Jews to be pollution. Among other things, the centurion was a excellent man. Romans at that time considered servants inferior. The servant was not considered almost
man. Servants were rather items that could be bought and sold. This the gospel centurion looked at his servant quite the opposite. He almost put it down as for your son. Therefore, he did not hesitate to go to Jesus and ask for help. This by his actions this centurion was ashamed of many, for he feared God.1 The centurion is a man of faith. He believes that Jesus can help his servant who is seriously ill. Trust is needed here. What trust do we have in Jesus? We believe that Jesus can heal each of us by his word, or we will hear Him word and do we live the old way? We must meet Him daily word. It is God’s Word that we have for our salvation. Only we have it travel instructions in this life. By reading and listening to God’s word, we become better. Christ wants us to honor his word. It is an undeserved gift for us that we can read the Word that was not invented by any human being, but directly God. It is a very rare gift. All it takes is the Word and the soul to heal. Indeed, the soul does he also heals by reading God’s word. But it is also a commitment. Because this word is not any, but God’s, so we need to read it with concentration says the best teacher, God himself. How many of us read the Scriptures at home? And how many do they presume Holy Mass by thinking about their things and do they not perceive God’s word? It is terrible if a man to whom God himself speaks rejects his Word. Word, which wants him to heal the wounds of his life, the Word which he wants to help him to he could orientate in various life situations in which he is currently. Is  blasphemous rejection of God, who is love itself. Let us try to pray for such people to find respect for the word of God, to have faith as a centurion that Jesus is the One, who wants to help everyone who asks.m St. Hieronymus devoted his entire life to the study of the Scriptures. Once in one work he expressed that He who does not know the Scriptures does not know Christ. Brothers and sisters, in this short statement is the real truth. God makes us known through Scripture. It’s his way of wanting to communicate with humanity. In it is the whole plan of God with mankind, in it is written our whole life the program we are to follow. Not knowing this program is similar to wander around a city and not know where we are. On the contrary, know the Scriptures and to believe in him as the word of God is the true knowledge of Christ who wants us heal. The centurion begged for mercy, which he deserved. He received such grace prisoners on special occasions. Let us ask the Lord to be reading too and by hearing the Word of God they were healed by the Word of Jesus, and so thanks once, they have obtained eternal bliss in heaven.

Love / ღ Heart

Love learns to burn from the one who burns.

Only love, which manifests itself in many ways, can give today’s world what it is constantly seeking.

The Christian knows that love is the reason why God establishes a relationship with man.

Life teaches that true love can work miracles. A loving person can change a person who has stopped loving.

There is nothing that would make the service of love useless. He who wants to get rid of love gets rid of himself as a human being.

Both the bird and the soul have two wings each. One wing is the command of love for God and the other is the command of love of neighbor. If you want to fly, you need both wings. One wing is not enough for flying.

It takes a lot of courage to make love. For to love, that is, to give up one’s superiority over the other, to give in to a dispute, to forgive his mistakes and to accept his shortcomings with patience and compassion.

Love of God without love of neighbor is not true love. The principle is that we cannot love the God we do not see if we do not love the neighbor we see.

Love of God feeds on love of neighbor and love of neighbor finds its source in love of God.

Let us remember that love gives joy to life, pain gives it value and faith gives light. We can talk about three secrets: heart, soul and conscience.

Love is a gift. We must not keep the gift from God for others, or give only to the elect from it. ❀ღ✿

Is it difficult to understand why the command of love is so important? The answer is simple. We are children of love. We are called God’s children.

Who counts the elapsed nights, the tears, the prayers, the self-denials of those who love, even if their love is trampled on, rejected, betrayed? Who gives them the strength to love even then? Human strength is certainly not enough.

Sin killed love in the heart, reason, feelings, words, deeds.

Who gives us this power to love? On what basis can we forget about ourselves and be here for the other? Only he who knows and knows that he is loved can and can love.

We would like to love, but for people to be according to our will. There are few such people in the area, if they can be found at all.

The happiness of love does not lie in being loved, but in loving. We must not forget that love is the only thing that distinguishes God’s children from the children of the devil.

Love is a source of joy and health, hatred is the way to the grave.

Love is the essence of our lives and the goal of our efforts on earth. Love is the strongest power, the strength, the weapon that God could have given us. God has put love in the heart of every man without distinction. Love is not just for someone. We are all to love, to be loved by word and deed. We do not save by love. Love must not be reserved. Love cannot blackmail. In love, we have to grow, develop and put it into concrete deeds of everyday life.

Inner love is the kindness of the heart that evokes in us the loving acceptance of any human being.

There is a huge hunger for love all over the world. The whole world is a song about God’s love.

If we really want to love, we have to disengage from ourselves in particular. We must selflessly give and love to the end; this liberation is long-term work and strenuous, but it is a source of balance and the secret of happiness.

Love is a gift of God. We should use all available human means to obtain it, but first and foremost we must ask for love, expect it, and humbly welcome it with an open heart.

He who truly loves another will understand his weaknesses and imperfections.

How easy and important it is to remember and help appreciate the truth: God loves you! It is true in moments of zeal and enthusiasm, as well as in moments of drought and disgust.

Love breeds trust.

Love encourages man to ask God for what is in accordance with his will.

According to Jesus’ example, a Christian is himself when he is “for others”, these are the signs of great people – our lives only make sense in connection with the lives of others.

A man who has love does not examine the intention of others in their actions; he never thinks he is doing better than others and never exalts himself above his neighbor; on the contrary, he thinks that others always do better than he does. He will not be offended when his neighbor is preferred to him; even if they despise him, he remains satisfied because he thinks he deserves even more contempt.

Several manifestations of true love are more effective than many words.

Increasingly, we should strive to create an enthusiastic desire to love that we will apply everywhere – so that love always prevails over sin.

The act of love is the dew for the heart; words of love are the sun for the growth of life.

Love – a triad of stratification of the divine in the human and the human in the divine.

The best way – the way of love.

To love someone means to always live from the beginning.

The sacrificial heart should be characterized by selfless nobility.

To participate in Christ means to participate in all of Christ. Not in Christ it is possible to separate his humanity from his Deity. It is one whole Christ. To share Christ also means to share the human that has lived and still lives and still within itself contains as when he lived in Nazareth. It is Jesus’ humanity that is the gateway to his Deity for us. As if we were they could connect with the Deity of Jesus Christ who transcends each of ours comprehension? If we did not approach Him through Jesus’ humanity, through Jesus a man who lived with his mother and his father in simple the house of Nazareth, who worked in the workshop, who ate, who drank, who slept, who laughed and had a sense of humor who befriended ordinary people and lived a simple life… only through all this can we approach Christ. His humanity is the gateway to his Deity. Whenever we come to Christ, we also enter into this human life of his family and whenever Christ comes to us, he does not come in any Protestant way alone, alone, but he always comes with all his saints and his mother and his foster parent.
To approach Christ in the human being, so that we may share in it as well divine. Jesus became us so that we could become Him, but also Unity with Christ God begins with unity with man Jesus Christ, with his humanity – and through unity with man Jesus Christ we enter into Oneness with God Jesus Christ and thus Christ man, incarnate God, becomes a bridge over which we can enter the path that leads to
Father.
***
As God, you shine too strong for me, so you became a man to bear
looking at you and through your humanity could approach your deity.
Your deity blinds me. That is why I approach You through Your humanity, through Eucharist. Shards I Fellowship with Jesus means living in His household, and that means to dwell with his mother with angels and with all the saints is never like that only Jesus himself is always his whole body to which we belong and which belong to us.
***
Friendship with Jesus necessarily involves friendship with all.
Communion with Jesus includes communion with all, no one is
excluded, nothing is excluded, Jesus unites everything in it is Catholicism.
***
True resemblance to Christ can only be learned by adoring Christ,
looking to Christ. Christ transforms us with His presence and in a way
which cannot be described, nor can the resemblance to Christ be learned or described words, but only to be adopted by an act of adoration.
***
Who am I? Son of God. And what do I want? Nothing, because I already have everything, only with great joy and excitement I teach to live this new reality.
***
Jesus says this in exactly this order: to what extent you measure, to what extent it will be measured to you to what extent I am a friend of Christ, to such an extent Christ to my friends in my life. I determine the degree of God’s presence, God’s action in my life.
***
Don’t try to leave many things, instead be fully one new person. It is not a strenuous and painful abandonment of many things, but exciting becoming one new person.
***
It is always God and His people. Never God himself. Never a man himself. Always it is the Lord and His saints with Him. The Church is God’s people and the key to God. Apartment to the saints, to be a son of God is always possible only and only in the communion of saints, in Christ Body. Head and Body. Outwardly, in the world, represented by two hearts, Jesus as the Head and Mary as the representative of the Body.
***
Being a Christian means moving, becoming a friend of God and that
means answering three questions:
• who am I,
• where I belong,
• what am I doing.
Who I am, the Son of God, the Friend of Christ. Where I belong – to God ‘s homeland, to the kingdom of God, into the family of God to the Church. What I do – I fight evil and I save every single person in the world for the kingdom of God after the side of Christ and his other companions from this new family of mine.
***
Fasting means clearing your head of everything that is not God.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewal of the mind, that ye may know what is the will of God, which is good, kind, and perfect. ” (Rom 12: 2) “Let no man deceive you in any way: for he shall not come, until he come first he shall abandon, and there shall not be a man of iniquity, the son of perdition. “(2Sol 2: 3) Just be. Here, now.
***
There is a difference between doing well and loving. God’s world is love.
***
We do not win by arguments, but by being full of the Lord.
***
Lord Jesus, I look at you in the tabernacle and I see you and at the same time I am in You, You are the one in whom I exist and yet you entered this world to I could look at you, you became bread, so I could eat you, I became you are human so that I can learn to live with you, you are my God. It is special. I look at you and at the same time I am in You, you are in front of me and I am to You and You are my universe, without You I do not exist, my God.

Many of us may sometimes wonder: What is hidden in which currency? Does the name express something specific, does it hide something, or does it mean something special? Shakespeare addressed a similar question and answered it as follows: “A rose, whatever it is called, would still smell equally adorable.” Of course, he was right. And fragrant, even if we choose to call it, say, a mouse’s ear or a rabbit’s duckweed. Names are not as important in our culture as they were in ancient Jewish culture, for example. to mark the thing we are talking about and for the listener to imagine the same as us.

For example, if parents have two sons, they will call one Peter and the other Paul. So then they know which is which. And this is how they address them. For us, names are simply a kind of label that we attach to a person at his birth, and which the person then wears throughout his life. Of course, not all names are liked by people. There are cases when people do not know how to get used to their name, when they reject it internally, and there are even those who change it. The use of names in Scripture, as many of us know, is special. Names usually said something. They were given with a clear intention. They sometimes expressed the thoughts or feelings that children’s parents felt in connection with their birth. Take the name Isaac, for example. This name can be translated as “laughter.” When Abraham and Sarah had a child in their old age, they called him laughter.

For them, the name must have expressed how they felt facing the miraculous and unexpected event of their son’s birth. At other times, the name given to the child was a kind of proclamation or expression of faith. For example, the name Elijah. It means “Yahweh is my God.” The child Elijah was born at a time when there was growing tension in Israel over the worshipers of Baal. And so his parents wanted to express their devotion to the God of Israel. It should be remembered what preceded the events of which the Gospel writes today: Elizabeth, his mother, was old when she became pregnant, and she and her husband Zachariah had been childless until then, and her pregnancy was too much for both, but especially for Zachariah. He was unable to believe God’s promise that a child would actually be born to them. When that happened, he somehow couldn’t process it internally. Simply he became  dumb.

When the child was born, according to Jewish tradition, on the eighth day, the child was circumcised and named. My father was supposed to do it. But his father was incompetent because he was dumb. Therefore, the Relatives simply decided that, according to custom, he would be called after his father Zechariah. But Elizabeth intervened. “His name will be John,” which meant “God is merciful.” Surprised relatives consulted Zechariah, who agreed. Yes, this was exactly what he felt. He remembered what the angel had told him at his conception: “He will be great in the sight of the Lord.” And it was after this that his mouth opened. Boy?” It is exactly what many parents feel when their child is born: “What will he be of him, of her?” How will this child change the world? Will he be a man loving people, afflicting people, loving people, esteemed, honored, sought after? Or will it be a self-centered individual whose only object of respect and attention will be himself? What does this name say? If someone asked us or our parents this question, they would probably answer, “I have no idea.”

The names – certainly in the vast majority of cases – were not given to us because they would carry some special meaning. They were simply given to us as a kind of label so that our parents and other people could identify us. But even this is not a negligible fact. On the contrary, it is really very important. My name is just my name. My name means me. When someone hears my name, they emerge me. And it will emerge not only my face and appearance, but also my qualities and characteristics. The opposite is also true: when I hear my name, I will notice. And even if it sounds just inconspicuously, quietly, somewhere in the mass. I stretch my ear. And I wonder what they’re talking about. In that sense, then my name is me. Someone once said, “The sweetest music on earth is the sound of my name.” And it’s really true. Our names can be words that have no special meaning. But they have meaning to us. My name is me.

Oral prayer requires attention to what is being done he says. However, one must be focused during work for what he does, then, the mind is turned away from God. And yet not completely. Saints often say that they are everything must be done “in the sight of God.” think that on the heights there is a great Spectator looking down on human affairs, “writes St. Basil. Norwegian writer Johannes Jörgensen visited Cologne Cathedral over the Rhine in Germany. He stumbled upon her inspection to a sculptor who carved there on a turret in stone flower. He addressed him: “Man, why do you put so much effort into a work that no one will appreciate? At this height, no one will see the fragile shapes of a flower. ” “But God sees it,” the sculptor replied with disarming simplicity. Is it easy to hold this view? One psychological problem. Our attention seems to be divided – we think of God, and we think of work, which we have to do. A worker in her father’s vineyard
Saint Francis de responds to this objection Chantaljed’s resolution:”In my opinion, it works about two different things – to live in God’s presence and to build into God’s presence. To stand up to God’s presence must divert attention from everything and focus on God’s presence. However, when we are got into this presence, we stay in it … “It is the same as in relation to people. We must first realize that someone has come. It is God who binds ours attention. Then we can concentrate intensively on what we do together. The knowledge that he is present, we will never lose again. That is why St. Ignatius believes that a short time is enough, approximately for the duration of the Father, before any work or prayer, for this act – stand up to
presence of God. It can be done with a small firing range prayer, for example, “Everything for you, heavenly Father “, or” To the greater honor and glory of God “, etc. It is also possible accompanied by a gesture, such as bowing or make any sign of respect as a greeting
to the one we came before. God’s eye sees everything In religious institutions where boys or girls in the common rooms, it was necessary to leave a small light on at night to get better orientate. It was often on the shade of this lamp painted an eye with the inscription “God sees you”. It is undoubtedly a biblical idea that often occurs in the Psalms (cf. Ps / 33.18); And yet, as many complained, this educational aid evoked misguided feelings. She forced the idea of ​​police-type supervision, and therefore and unreasonable fear. The eye of God, which sees everything, is a view of love and willingness to help. This is explained by an encouraging example, which we read about in the biography of St. Rosena of Lim. She was in overly timid in her youth, as was her mother. One girl stayed in the evening in the evening, which was in the far corner of their garden. Suddenly it was getting dark and little Rosena did not have the courage to walk through the darkened garden into the house. There to her anxious mother waited, but because she was as timid as her daughter, she did not come to go to her dark corner of the garden. So they both shook. Finally my father came home. He took his mother in his armpit, and they both they set out to bring home little Rosena. She overheard
their voices and the thought came to her: If a mother who is as timid as I am is no longer afraid, when dad takes her in his armpit, why should I Am I afraid when I believe that God’s eye looks upon me everywhere I am? Since then, Rosena never suffered and unreasonable fears because she got rid of them another example, also comforting, though simple, is from children’s lives. One little girl asked her mom, it seems true that God really is everything, everything
he sees. “Sure,” Mom said. “It’s a shame!” said the girl in disappointment. “And why?” He asks in astonishment mother. “But, I wanted to knit two socks for poor for Christmas and surprise such a dear Lord God. ” A ray of wisdom shone in his mother’s answer:
“Even though God sees everything, our good one works a pleasant surprise for him. “

Synergetism – God’s and human activity
The Son of God descended from heaven, the Fathers say, just because
so that we may ascend to heaven. According to the old definition, prayer, and therefore religion itself, is the ascent (Greek anabasis) of the soul to God. Ascent means effort and work. And what if it’s a job in vain? Who performs onthe top, although closer to the light, is almost as far from the sun as the one who remained below. It is no wonder that Christian doctors have shown a fundamental distrust of human endeavor. We are not saved by works, but only by faith. Faith is then a gift, not merit. It is a well-known sentence that became a slogan at the time of the Reformation. We humans don’t ascend to heaven, but God has come down to us, to save us. In ascetic theology they pose the same problem in form questions: What is the function, what is the importance of human forces there, where is it about God’s life in us, about gaining grace? If we call human endeavor “asceticism” and connection with God “mysticism”, then the authors ask: What is the relationship between them? We know very well that in both the Eastern and Western Churches monasticism became the main revival movement. Catholic even non-Catholic church historians are then united in when they consider as one of the main pillars of religious life a firm belief that there is unity between asceticism and mysticism. Progress in the spiritual life corresponds to the effort of a person who works with grace. Greek God ‘s Grace and Human Cooperation this is often referred to as synergetism, the joint action of human forces and the Holy Spirit. “But then grace is no longer grace, voluntary and the free gift of God! ” objected by the opponents. With a simple and nice comparison, he answers the objection already in the 4th century Pseudo-Makarios. Human effort is like workfarmer. Everyone knows that it is not enough just to plow and sow.The harvest depends on the sun, rain, weather. It happens that they comeyear} ‘, when little is gained with great effort, or vice versa. And yet it is normal: the better the field is cultivated, the better the yield. The same is true «Normal law of grace». Here, too, it is true: “Man, do it and God will help you! ” But grace is a free, voluntary gift from God. What God gives, is life, activity, and it animates the whole man,all his heart, mind and all his strength (cf. Mt 22:37).God’s love must meet human love here.
