Matt...im sorry you have declined to accept the terms of release i offered.
having said that, the truth is, i belong here.
its lent and the one thing i said i was going to try to do during lent was "watch my lips".
as ST. Andrew of Crete says:
'Where shall I begin to weep over the cursed deeds of my life?
What foundation shall I lay, O Christ, for this lamentation?'
i have shown myself to be a miserable failure.
keep me here at least until after Pasch [Easter] only, if you might be so kind as to allow me more than 3 posts per day.
Lazarus -
....in Thy compassion grant me release from my falls.
Come, wretched soul, with your flesh, confess to the Creator of all. In future refrain from your former brutishness, and offer to God tears in repentance.
[st andrew of Crete]
