“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html ... /// Legions of angels in heaven repeatedly sigh for me, so that my soul is not suddenly stolen away, and so that I do not go into fiery streams. Terrible legislators, apostles, sitting with the Judge, as fellow thrones, sword-bearing and trembling Angels divide the hearts of sinners among themselves. Then every breath will weep, because (alas!) disasters have no end. Warn all this, soul, imitating the lamentations of a harlot. /// Deliver me then, Savior, from the terrible threat of terrible torment. The Cherubim and the Seraphim sing unceasingly to you. The heavenly regiments sing praises to You, in the Trinity of the One. /// You, Father, the unborn Light, have Thy Son without origin, have Thy co-eternal Spirit, who gives everyone the breath of life, as full of generosity, kindness and goodness, through the prayers of the martyrs, prophets, apostles, reverends, saints, and receive our voices, Heavenly Father. Lord, glory to You! To Him be glory and power with His All-Holy, Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and always, and forever and ever! Amen.
