WHY THE PARAGON 10/17/2024
Many are called but few are chosen
because identification (wedding garment) is required but available to all.
St. Matt. 22:12-14 KJV And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness* , there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
The Holy Orthodox fathers and mothers consider it essential that preparation be made to create a spiritual climate for the mind and the heart. before initiating daily prayer. This may be accomplished by reading the Holy Scripture and the lives and writings of the saints, again, before the commencement of prayer.
The Paragon was created to facilitate access. This is especially helpful when one must arrive early at work and wish to begin with the blessing of the Holy Trinity, the Most Holy Immaculate Virgin, and the saints throughout the day.
And there’s more. All the writings, whether epistles, gospels, homilies or simple quotes, all navigate with love the aspirant in various ways to the same source - Eternal Life - Paradise. If that is your objective, then a firm commitment will expedite your journey and exponentially increase rewards (the essential wedding garment and more) along the way. Glory to God!
