Preparing for Confession.
Why vain thoughts are dangerous. St. Nikodemos the Hagiorite explains:
Concerning these vain and idle thoughts, I say, advise the penitent not to allow his intellect to meditate upon or ponder over them:
1) because just as we have to give an account for idle words on the day of judgment, as the Lord said. (Mt. 12:36)
2) because those vain thoughts deprive us from profitable and salvific thoughts, which we are able to have instead of them; and
3) because these idle thoughts are in themselves evil, as they are the cessation of good and become the beginning of evil, and as giving way and permission to the devil to sow in our idle intellect the tares of evil thoughts.
Thus does Gregory the Theologian confirm this: “May evil and its original cause, the devil, be destroyed. For while we were idle, the evil one planted tares in us (cf. Mt. 13:25), in order that the neglect of good might become the beginning of evil, just as the beginning of darkness is the retreat of light.

"Whoever gains the ability to see his own sinfulness sees not individual sins, but the complete distortion of his soul, which constantly exudes all manner of evil. What’s more, he sees that even his good deeds are saturated with the poison of sin. When a man sees this clearly, and likewise becomes convinced after a thousand incidents that he cannot heal the leprosy of his soul on his own, then he will genuinely (not artificially) humble himself, will stop judging others, and no longer take offense when his feelings are hurt."

Do not judge, do not judge the higher ones, do not gossip, try to cover sin and not notice it. Say “Who am I to judge, and do I know the inner motives to judge?” Judgment is mostly born of envy and is an abomination.

The theme of Monday is that of the barren fig tree which yields no fruit and is condemned. The tree (in one of explanations) means every soul that does not bear spiritual fruit: faith, repentance, prayer, good deeds. When God finds no fruit in the soul, He withers it with a curse, that is, He sends it to the fire for eternal torment.
If we don’t want to become such a cursed tree, the Divine services of Holy Monday urge us to avoid sin and to hearken unto Christ. “The liturgical texts today speak about how we need to mortify ourselves to worldly sweetness for the sake of Christ, following Him and being crucified, being “purified in mind.
The services transmit the images of the historical events of the Sacred Scriptures to every person standing in church.”

☦️ Do not judge people and do not offend them. Everyone acts according to his learning and character. Few have goodness and good judgment. If you are more reasonable and prudent in some things, thank God for it, but do not judge others.

One of the best known heretics, Leo Tolstoy, advanced an idea of "not resisting evil". Contrary to that, the author of the best Orthodox Catechism described the Christians stance as follows:
"Love your enemies, despise enemies of God, smash enemies of the Fatherland". St. Philaret, the Metropolitan of Moscow.

There is an illusion among many heterodox that “you better relax and don’t worry, God saved you", enjoy. Sounds like devils’ lies to Eve. This illusion is very dangerous, because people being relaxed don’t even notice how quickly sin occupies their heart.
“Sin closes the spiritual eyes; the thief thinks that God does not see; the fornicator, giving himself up to impurity, thinks that God does not see him; the covetous, the greedy, the drunkard, think that they can hide themselves and their sinful passions.”
St. John of Kronstadt

☦️🙏 The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the proof of the deity of Jesus Christ and the beginning of our resurrection.
Before the Resurrection of Christ, many people knew only the earth, where they appear for a short time and are soon hidden, unknown to where... Now that Christ has risen and that He, as the God-Man, has been given “all power in heaven and on earth,” not only heaven has been made attainable, but even joined to earth in such a way that it is difficult to find a boundary and distinction between them, for both on earth there is the Divine and in heaven there is humanity.

The holy Church ask God for help "to the Christ-loving army" on a daily basis in the Ectenias. Let's remember them in our prayers.

You know very well what the ancient holy fathers predicted concerning our times. It was said: They will be saved by faith, the endurance of sorrows and illnesses, and repentance. We have no [good] deeds. In everything and always we transgress Christ’s commandments. Therefore, all that is left for us is to repent, endure and believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, who came to seek out and save those who are perishing, will also save us who entreat Him...

St. John Chrysostom reminds us not to be proud of our deeds , because without God it is not even a drop in the ocean.
“Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.”
