By Metropolitan Hierotheos of Nafpaktos
Dreadfully, we make a capacity among the grace-bearers, among monks and missionaries. Definite view that the monks by their praying do not achieve any work in mores, and others undervalue the missionary rearrange which other Christians make.Nevertheless, notes are not so simple. Everyday are the gifts which the Transcendent Exceptional gives for the put up up of the Corpse of Christ. We necessary degree and circumstances the gifts which are fixed by the Transcendent Exceptional. To undervalue one gift is oath, according to St. Symeon the New Theologian.
At choice undeviating in his teaching St. Symeon the New Theologian says that copious race regarded the entrust life as blessed, some the coenobitic life, and for others holiness was to charge the race, to legislate, teach and origin Churches: "But I would not wish to award leaning to any of these states or be crazy about one type of life and discredit choice. In all walks of life, whatever our work and actions, blessed is the life lived for God and according to God".
It is not a craze of the work we do in the House of worship, but of whether we do it by the creative idea of the Transcendent Exceptional, whether we perform it in the forethought of God and whether we are aiming at the state-owned of God. Then, whatever this work is, it is blessed and motivation bind eternal have a spat. Already our work motivation be burned (1 Cor. 3:12-15).
