When I Fail to Kiss the Cross

T A L M A C H
so much and simple

---

Translated from BG

[When I Fail to Kiss the Cross]

TRUTH – is not hidden in my backroom,
I’ve no key to celestial Mysteries!
I would so much like – to speak all in the Faith –
And to do according to it only!

And the enemy – is so much cunning and so impudent –
And so lofty, kind, and what-not else…
And he’s in me, in my thoughts, and deeds,
Any day I fail to kiss the Cross!

(Когато не целуна Кръста)

Истината – не стои във задната ми стаичка,
Нямам ключ за тайните небесни!
Иска ми се – да говоря все във Вярата –
И да върша все по нея само!

А врагът – е толкова лукав и нагъл –
И наперен, мил и всякакъв...
И е в мен, във мислите, делата ми,
Всеки ден, когато не целуна Кръста!

Bishop Arseny ( Zhadanovsky )

 

 

Not only people indulging in vices and passions are in the networks of the enemy; [not only they are] the accomplices of the enemy of our salvation, but also – those who set themselves the task to live piously, [who] are not left alone by that very same enemy; he is trying to involve [lure] even these Christians into his networks – but already it is because of their piety [namely] – that he involves them in the so-called PRELEST [delusive charm, fascination]. 

PRELEST is the perverse, incorrect internal spirit [set of mind] of ours – allegedly high [lofty], spiritual, but in actual fact – false, deceptive, fake, ostentatious – it is that internal state of our heart, about which the Apostle Paul says that you can have only an image of piety and be deprived of its strength.
