LIGHT FROM THE SAINTS

The Venerable Ambrose, Elder of Optina

This wise man (b. Nov. 23,1812; d. Oct. 23, 1891) who glorified God by his spiritual endeavours at the renowned Optina Pustyn’ monastery gave many marvellous teachings to those who would listen. Many of them can be found on the internet.

Among them is this saying on repentance: "One man sinned but repented, and this continued all his life. Finally he repented and died. An evil spirit came for his soul and said: 'He's mine.' The Lord said, 'No, no, he has repented.' 'But he repented and then sinned again,' said the devil. The Lord said to him: 'If you, being evil, take him back after he repented to Me, then how can I not accept him if after sinning he has turned to Me in repentance? You forget that you are evil, and I am good.'"

Let us learn from St. Ambrose the power of repentance. How often we hear it said that people can not change! Repentance is exactly that: changing! Over and over, bit by bit. Until our time on earth is over. We change for the worse or the better. Repentance is what makes the difference!

In a similar vein the Saint also said this: "One ascetic woman was besieged for a long time with unclean thoughts. When the Lord came and cast them away from her, she called to Him: 'Where were you before now, O my sweet Jesus?' The Lord answered: 'I was in your heart.' She said then: 'How could that be? For my heart was full of unclean thoughts.' The Lord said to her: 'Know that I was in your heart, for you were not disposed to the unclean thoughts, but strove rather to be free of them; and when you were not able to be free, you struggled and grieved. By this you prepared a place for Me in your heart.'"

As St. Paul said: “Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9 –New King James Version). (igk)
