BY GEORGE….
From the treatise On Spiritual Perfection by Dia-dochus of Photice, bishop "No one who is in love with himself is capable of loving God. The man who loves God is the one who mortifies his self-love for the sake of the immeasurable blessings of divine love. Such a man never seeks his own glory but only the glory of God. If a person loves himself he seeks his own glory, but the man who loves God loves the glory of his Creator. Anyone alive to the love of God can be recognized from the way he con-stantly strives to glorify him by fulfilling all his command-ments and by delighting in his own abasement. Be-cause of his great majesty it is fitting that God should receive glory, but if he hopes to win God's favor it be-comes man to be humble. If we possess this love for God, we too will rejoice in his glory as Saint John the Baptist did, and we shall never stop repeating: His fame must increase, but mine must decrease. I know a man who, though lamenting his failure to love God as much as he desires, yet loves him so much that his soul burns with ceaseless longing for God to be glorified, and for his own complete effacement. This man has no feeling of self-importance even when he receives praise. So deep is his desire to humble him-self that he never even thinks of his own dignity. He ful-fills his priestly duty by celebrating the Liturgy, but his intense love for God is an abyss that swallows up all consciousness of his high office. His humility makes him oblivious of any honor it might bring him, so that in his own estimation he is never anything but a useless serv-ant. Because of his desire for self-abasement, he re-gards himself as though degraded from his office. His example is one that we ourselves should follow by flee-ing from all honor and glory for the sake of the immeas-urable blessings of God's love, for he has loved us so much! Anyone who loves God in the depths of his heart has already been loved by God. In fact, the measure of a man's love for God depends upon how deeply aware he is of God's love for him. When this awareness is keen it makes whoever possesses it long to be enlight-ened by the divine light, and this longing is so intense that it seems to penetrate his very bones. He loses all consciousness of himself and is entirely transformed by the love of God. Such a man lives in this life and at the same time does not live in it, for although he still inhabits the body, he is constantly leaving it in spirit because of the love that draws him toward God. Once the love of God has released him from self-love, the flame of divine love nev-er ceases to burn in his heart and he remains united to God by an irresistible longing. As the Apostle says: If we are taken out of ourselves it is for the love of God; if we are brought back to our senses it is for your sake.

Day in the Life Video Series - Throughout the school year, we have produced videos to inspire and inform our school community about what a day in the life at ASA looks like. Earlier this year, we posted day in the life videos of our kindergarten, third grade, and pre-school classrooms. Throughout the month of June, we will be releasing the rest of our series on Facebook. Our first two videos showcase how our kindergarten - 2nd grade stu-dents and 4th -5th grade students form a solid foundation to be set up for success for their remaining edu-cational journey. Check out our Day in the Life of K-2 & 4-5 videos today on our Facebook page at fa-cebook.com/ASAEagles. Invitation To Pray - In your per-sonal, family, or even small group prayer this next week, please con-sider offering your prayers for a re-storative summer for the entire ASA community!
