Rate this book
Οἱ ἅγιοι Πατέρες μας μὲ ἐνθουσιασμὸ ἀνέμεναν τὴ Μεγάλη Τεσσαρακοστή, λέγοντας ὅτι ἂν διέλθουμε αὐτὴν τὴν περίοδο μὲ νηστεία καὶ μετάνοια εἶναι σὰν νὰ ἀποδεκατίζουμε τὴ ζωή μας. Οἱ παλαιοὶ Ἰσραηλίτες ἀφιέρωναν ἕνα δέκατο τῶν γεννημάτων τους στὸν Θεό. Οἱ Χριστιανοὶ ἀφιερώνουν ἕνα δέκατο τῆς πρόσκαιρης ζωῆς τους σὲ ἐντονότερο ἀγώνα προσεγγίσεως τοῦ Θεοῦ καί, ὅταν ἡ προσφορὰ γίνει μὲ ταπείνωση, ὁ Κύριος τὴ δέχεται ὡς θυσία εὐάρεστη καὶ εὐλογεῖ ὄχι μόνο τὸ ὑπόλοιπο τῆς ἐπίγειας ζωῆς, ἀλλὰ πολὺ περισσότερο, ἀποθησαυρίζει αὐτὲς τὶς ἡμέρες στὴν αἰωνιότητα.
