It's Later Than You Think No. 10 | Fr Seraphim Rose | Orthodox Christian Art PosterOrthodox Christians! Hold fast to the grace which you have; never let it become a matter of habit; never measure it by merely human standards or expect it to be logical or comprehensible to those who understand nothing higher than what is human. Let all true Orthodox Christians strengthen themselves for the battle ahead, never forgetting that in Christ the victory is already ours. Fr Seraphim Rose, Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future

the Mother of God

and the ruler of the kings of the earth

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian

the ministers of the Lord

Just as we are about to accomplish something good

the Christian is called to "bear" Christ in his or her own soul through gradual purification unto passionlessness

but let us keep awake and be sober

bringing my recompense

The Pure Soul is an allegorical icon

what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God

after the devil
