\"\"<\/a>“Postul e vechi \u015fi \u00eencepe o dat\u0103 cu omul. E prima porunc\u0103 de st\u0103p\u00e2nire de sine. Postul \u015fi rug\u0103ciunea sunt dou\u0103 mijloace prin care cur\u0103\u0163im firea de patimi. To\u0163i oamenii care s-au apropiat de Dumnezeu \u015fi-au smerit sufletul cu rug\u0103ciune \u015fi post. \u015ei Iisus a postit 40 de zile, pun\u00e2nd postul \u00eencep\u0103tur\u0103 a vestirii \u00eemp\u0103r\u0103\u0163iei lui Dumnezeu, de\u015fi Lui nu-I trebuia, fiind nep\u0103tima\u015f. Temeiurile mai ad\u00e2nci ale postului \u015fi rug\u0103ciunii le g\u0103sim tot la Botez. Ad\u00e2ncul fiin\u0163ei noastre se \u00eembrac\u0103 \u00een Hristos. \u00cen acest ad\u00e2nc al min\u0163ii sau \u00een altarul inimii, dup\u0103 expresia P\u0103rin\u0163ilor, se s\u0103l\u0103\u015fluie\u015fte Hristos, izgonind afar\u0103 pe satana, care se retrage \u00een sim\u0163iri. De aici puterile potrivnicului, patimile, se silesc s\u0103 \u00eenv\u0103luie \u015fi s\u0103 prind\u0103 voin\u0163a din nou \u00een mrejele sale.<\/p>\n

\nCu trupul \u00eens\u0103 nu putem trata dec\u00e2t prin post. El nu \u015ftie \u015fi nu recunoa\u015fte convingerile. De aceea el trebuie uscat, \u00eencet \u015fi cu socoteal\u0103, fiindc\u0103 \u00een mocirla uscat\u0103 porcii patimilor nu mai vin s\u0103 se scalde.<\/p>\n

\nCa s\u0103 z\u0103d\u0103rnicim puterea potrivnic\u0103 care lucreaz\u0103 prin sim\u0163uri patimile pl\u0103cerii, sl\u0103bim prin post aceste sim\u0163uri \u015fi \u00eenchinarea lor c\u0103tre pl\u0103cere. Un organism topit cu postul nu mai are putere s\u0103 schimbe convingerile con\u015ftiin\u0163ei. Dar mai bine de jum\u0103tate din num\u0103rul patimilor sunt ale min\u0163ii. Postul lucreaz\u0103 \u015fi asupra acestora. E lucru de mirare, zice Sf\u00e2ntul Ioan Sc\u0103rarul, c\u0103 mintea fiind netrupeasc\u0103, de la trup se spurc\u0103 \u015fi se \u00eentunec\u0103 \u015fi c\u0103, dimpotriv\u0103, cea nematerialnic\u0103 de la \u0163arin\u0103 se sub\u0163iaz\u0103 \u015fi se cur\u0103\u0163\u0103.<\/p>\n

\nOchii v\u0103d lucrurile, mintea vede g\u00e2ndurile. Postul cur\u0103\u0163e\u015fte ochiul, rug\u0103ciunea cur\u0103\u0163e\u015fte mintea. Aici nu vorbim de rug\u0103ciuni care cer lucruri materiale, nici de rug\u0103ciunea care d\u0103 drumul \u00eenchipuirii, dup\u0103 cum nu vorbim nici de rug\u0103ciunea liturgic\u0103, ci numai de rug\u0103ciunea min\u0163ii. La intrarea \u00een c\u0103lug\u0103rie, rug\u0103ciunea vame\u015fului, completat\u0103 poate chiar de Iisus, e numit\u0103 deodat\u0103 cu metaniile \u201eSabia Duhului Sf\u00e2nt\u201d. Rug\u0103ciunea min\u0163ii este:
\n\u201eDoamne, Iisuse Hristoase, Fiul lui Dumnezeu, miluie\u015fte-m\u0103 pe mine, p\u0103c\u0103tosul<\/strong>\u201d. Cu numele lui Iisus spus \u00eent\u00e2i cu gura, apoi cu mintea, p\u0103trundem din afar\u0103 spre \u00eenl\u0103untrul nostru c\u0103tre Iisus,<\/p>\n

\nCare la rug\u0103ciunea noastr\u0103 bate r\u0103zboi cu potrivnicul din g\u00e2nduri \u015fi ne izb\u0103ve\u015fte de asupririle patimilor. Rug\u0103ciunea min\u0163ii sau rug\u0103ciunea inimii are temeiul acesta, descoperit de \u00eensu\u015fi Iisus, c\u0103 \u201ef\u0103r\u0103 Mine nu pute\u0163i face nimic\u201d \u00een privin\u0163a izb\u0103virii de patimi, deci \u00een privin\u0163a m\u00e2ntuirii.<\/p>\n

\nRug\u0103ciunea min\u0163ii are \u015fi st\u0103ri superioare, c\u00e2nd izb\u0103vindu-se patimile, se deap\u0103n\u0103 de la sine f\u0103r\u0103 cuvinte, \u00eentr-o nesf\u00e2r\u015fit\u0103 dragoste de Dumnezeu, de oameni \u015fi de toat\u0103 f\u0103ptura.”<\/p>\n
