Holy Great Fast

2 Timothy 3:15-17
Undertsanding Scripture
and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Commentary
“To search the sacred Scripture is very good and most profitable for the soul. For, “like a tree which is planted near the running waters,” so does the soul, watered by sacred Scripture, also grows hearty and bears fruit in due season. This is the orthodox faith. It is adorned with its evergreen leaves, with actions pleasing to God.”

~ St John of Damascus

Reflection
