Looking back, the first Sunday’s lesson was simply ‘pursue holiness’ and the second Sunday’s was ‘fight everyday.’ I put these two together and it was the general theme for the entire rest of my time there. Even in confession, His Eminence would encourage me to ‘fight everyday,’ to ‘struggle,’ to practice ‘ascesis,’ for that is the secret to the Christian life he would say – to fight everyday. […]

“Blessed are those who endure temptation” James 1:12 knowing we endure looking to the High Priest who sympathises and understands our weakness. Knowing we have victory and are blessed in Him. Trusting that though He doesnt tempt us, He makes all things (temptation, suffering, weakness) work for good and for our holiness that we can see Him.
