This is the sort of question that you should really discuss personally with your spiritual father.<br /><br />That said, I'll keep my eyes open for articles that address this question. Perhaps other readers can suggest links. If anyone knows of something in Russian that addresses this matter (and isn't too terribly long), please bring it to my attention and I can try to translate it. (Links in English, of course, would be even easier.)Felix Culpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062279686869827534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-17471819037760074412009-04-14T14:21:00.000+02:002009-04-14T14:21:00.000+02:00It seems to be an appropriate day to ask as we bri...It seems to be an appropriate day to ask as we bring to mind the Ten Virgins but how am I to keep that which has been gained through the Fast? It seems that the Fast has been multidimensionally advantageous but now I fear coming to the end that I will relax and feast too much, abandon my watchfulness and fall once again. Seeing that you are privy to a great deal of resources and writings I thought you may have found some advice on this in your journeys.Matthewnoreply@blogger.com
