Road to Emmaus Vol. 2, No. 4 (#7)40

when from his cave he saw a vision of the desert full of holes and traps. Hesaid, Oh Lord, who is going to be saved from falling into these traps? Thenhe heard a voice, Humility will save the people. The humble will never betrapped. Although I was born Orthodox, I too was like a convert because Ientered the Church at the age of forty and when I saw what was going onin the Church I said, No, it cant be, why is this happening? But it doeshappen, and God permits it so that I can overcome it and go ahead, not stopin despair. Jumping over hurdles is the road of a Christian. Never think thatit is a walk on the beach in the moonlight. Have patience, that is all.
