Put Not Your Trust in Princes

Put Not Your Trust in Princes

146 

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
    I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Put not your trust in princes,
    in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
    on that very day his plans perish.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
    the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever;
7     who executes justice for the oppressed,
    who gives food to the hungry.

The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8     the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
    the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the sojourners;
    he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
    but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

10 The Lord will reign forever,
    your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!

JOHN OF DAMASCUS

Δοκεῖ μὲν οὖν κυριώτερον πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ Θεοῦ λεγομένων
ὀνομάτων εἶναι ὁ ὤν, καθὼς αὐτὸς χρηματίζων τῷ Μωσεῖ ἐπὶ τοῦ
ὄρους φησίν· «Εἶπον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ· Ὁ ὢν ἀπέσταλκέ με».

Ὅλον
γὰρ ἐν ἑαυτῷ συλλαβὼν ἔχει τὸ εἶναι οἷόν τι πέλαγος οὐσίας
ἄπειρον καὶ ἀόριστον….

ΕΓΩ ΕΙΜΙ Ο ΛΑΛΩΝ ΣΟΙ…

Η στιγμή που βιωνεις, οταν αντιλαμβάνεσαι οτι η Αλήθεια και ο Ακατάληπτος Θεός απευθύνεται προσωπικά σε εσένα, ειναι η μεγαλύτερη ευτυχία και το οντολογικό πλήρωμα της Ανθρωπίνης ύπαρξης.

Ειναι τοσο άφατη που δεν την χωρά ουτε οι αισθήσεις ουτε ο Νούς.

Λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή· Οἶδα ὅτι Μεσσίας ἔρχεται ὁ λεγόμενος Χριστός· ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος, ἀναγγελεῖ ἡμῖν πάντα.

Λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἐγώ εἰμι, ὁ λαλῶν σοι
