Publisher's Synopsis
1) Our life in this world is nothing other than the way to the future century. We embark on this path during birth - at the time of death we end it. This way to another is the shortest, somehow dying to infants; to another - a debtor, such as dying boys and youths; to another - even longer, somehow to husbands and old men dying. As we know, the day and the image of the beginning of this way, because we are all the same born: it is so unknown - the day, hour and image of its end. Listen to this ... 2) If our life in the worldthis is the way, and we are travelers and wanderers: that our country, our house, our resting place, our heritage is not here. So why are we hiding our treasures on the way? Why are we looking for honor, glory and joy on the way? ... 3) The way of our life is twofold: narrow and wide. There is a close path because the travelers who walk along it are surrounded by patience and the temptation of troubles, misfortunes and sorrows ... The broad path is therefore called that its travelers live by their own will, do what they want, do not look at the will of their Creator, do not incline of your will under the yoke of Christ "... Here you are partly a disgrace to the worldBefore prayer it is required: 1) not to be angry at anyone, not to be angry, but to leave any offense, so that God himself will forgive sins. Leave us our debts, as well as we leave our debtor. If you don't let a person let go of their transgressions, neither your heavenly Father will let your transgressions go to you ( Matt. 6:12, 14, 15 ). 2) Reconcile with those who have been wronged by word or deed ( Matt. 5:24 ). During prayer required: 1) humility; because, being earth and ashes, and, moreover, sinners, we stand before the majesty of God and pray to him. 2) Hope. God, as omnipresent, hears our prayers; as almighty, maybe, and as a blessing, he wants to fulfill everything that we need and is useful and that the will of His holy one is pleasing. 3) Hearty zeal, or fervor: from the depths, I cry out to Thee, Lord ( Psalm 129: 1 ).
