+ Today the USA announced its bombing of three locations in Iran, + including Iran’s main nuclear enrichment site, located under a mountain + in Fordow. How far will things go? +

+

+ Here is the only way I know of to have peace: live every day as if + tomorrow you will face death, where it will be too late for repentance, + too late for a change of heart. As St. Isaac the Syrian says[1]: +

+
+

+ Take hold of your life before your light grows dark and you seek help + and do not find it. This life has been given to you for repentance; do + not waste it in vain pursuits. +

+

+ Woe to us! We neither realize just how valuable our soul is, nor + comprehend the type of life we have been called to lead. We place + great significance on this present life, on illnesses, on the state of + society, and on the sorrows, evils, and comforts of this world. +

+

+ However, blessed is the person, O Lord Jesus Christ, who receives help + from You. You, O Lord, are the only powerful One. Turn our faces away + from the desire for this world so that we may covet You alone. Grant + us, O Lord, understanding, so that we may comprehend just how + deceitful this present world is, and so that we do not believe in this + shadow as if it were the truth. +

+

+ Seek the Lord, and be strengthened through hope. Seek His face through + repentance, and you will be sanctified and cleansed from your sins, on + account of the sanctity of His face. Hasten to the Lord, all of you + who are guilty of sins, for He is able to forgive sins and overlook + mistakes. For He made an oath and declared thus: + “I live, says the Lord. I do not desire the death of the sinner + until he repents from his evil way and lives” (Ez. 13:23). +

+
+

+ May we not be tested beyond what we can bear, and may we have + indestructible peace that is not of this world. +

+
