☦️🕯️Abstinence is for everyone, not just for monks. Husbands and wives for whom marriage means only the satisfaction of bodily passions will not be justified. They will answer before God for not having been abstinent. Of course, as the Apostle says, they are not to abstain from each other for a long time, lest the devil deceive them, but they should abstain according to mutual consent (cf. I Cor. 7:1-6). Married people should abstain from corporeal relations during fasts and on great Feast days.🕯️☦️

Psalms 1:1-2
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

“Much effort and labor is needed, for a man to be changed and to be the good tree that brings forth good fruit. Strive, then, for nothing else but to change, renew, and correct yourself. And pray for this...”
St. Tikhon of Zadonsk
Spiritual life in Orthodox understanding is not about getting some high emotions. Based on the Holy Scriptures, the Patristing interpretations and Holy Tradition, we know that Orthodox spirituality is expressed through prayer, worship, Sacraments, and grows through hardships….. for “narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Mt,7,14)

But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him. 4. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

When we truly trust God and accept His will, our faith is growing. “Those who touched the Saviour’s garment were made whole. Why is it that those who employ holy water with faith are even now healed? Because the Cross, immersed in water, with the prayer of faith, is as though the life-giving Lord Himself.”
St. John of Kronstadt
