Saturday of the First Week of Lent
Do you observe God’s commandments with all your heart?
Have you made an agreement with God?
Do you love your enemies?
Do you pray for them?
Are you a child of your Heavenly Father?
Do you only love those who love you?
How can you be perfect like God?
Questions from St. Dorotheus
- Why are you troubled and disturbed when someone corrects you?
- Is it because you do not find fault with yourself?
- Are you surprised when you’re rebuked?
- Do you not know that this is the path to peace?
- Are you lazy about improvement?
- Do you think that you have entered on a straight path?
