He gives light to the person who sleeps in sin or in evil or sleeps in the love of the world away from Christ and from the true knowledge of Christ. The person who sleeps does not know the resurrection of Christ neither experiencing nor living it. St. Paul through the holy words says: Awake you who sleep arise from the dead death of the sin and Christ will give you light. H.H.

When we face something we do not expect we should not be disturbed or collapse but should accept it from God who knows exactly what He is doing. He is intentionally testing our hearts for our own benefit; And knows exactly when to take us out of the furnace of temptation; We should therefore perpetually submit to Him continually endure everything with pleasure and thanksgiving whether when He grants us blessings or puts us under chastisements which are likewise a kind of blessings.

When we face something we do not expect, we should not be disturbed or collapse, but should accept it from God, who knows exactly what He is doing. He is intentionally testing our hearts for our own benefit; And knows exactly when to take us out of the furnace of temptation; We should therefore, perpetually submit to Him, continually endure everything with pleasure and thanksgiving, whether when He grants us blessings, or puts us under chastisements, which are likewise, a kind of blessings.
