Many clergy, leaders, and servants in the church focus on serving others that we forget our own spiritual growth. Fr. Abraham discusses how we as servants must cleanse and heal ourselves before we can heal others. If we do not care for our own soul, we can be a stumbling block to the people we serve. Instead we should be a light to a dark place. We should help give sight to the blind and for the paralyzed to walk. We can give life and not death – to save someone from the depths of hell.
The priesthood is a responsibility and should not be taken lightly. People can be resurrected through our ministry.
“Inside I am not what I appear to be: Heal me.” -St. Ephraim the Syrian
