+ From the Great Canon of
St. Andrew of Crete
Having preferred a possessive and pleasure-loving life to spiritual poverty, O Savior, I am now harnessed with a heavy yoke.
I have adorned the idol of my flesh with the many-colored clothing of shameful thoughts, and I am condemned. [1 Saint John 5:21]
I have been anxiously concerned only about outward adornment, and have neglected the inner temple made in the image of God. [I Saint Peter 3:3-4]
