"The World Values Outward Success,
but God Looks upon the Hidden State of the Soul."

In the Gospels, our Lord speaks with special tenderness about the "little ones" who belong to him. St. John Chrysostom reminds us that "he calls little ones not them that are really little, but them that are so esteemed by the multitude, the poor, the objects of contempt, the unknown." The world values status and outward success, but God looks upon the hidden state of the soul. When we choose to cultivate a lowly spirit, we draw close to Christ, who is himself gentle and humble of heart.

Our guardian angels watch over this inner work with deep care and compassion. According to the Orthodox Study Bible, "the angels of humble people have greater boldness and greater honor before the face of God because of the humility of the person they guard." These heavenly protectors do not measure our worth by earthly achievements. They rejoice when we lay aside pride, and they carry the quiet sighs of a broken and contrite heart directly to the throne of Glory.

When we serve others without seeking accolades, bear our burdens graciously, and acknowledge our weakness, our angels stand close beside us. In our poverty of spirit, their prayers for us gain strength before God, shielding us from harm and guiding our steps in peace.

With love in Christ,
~Fr. Andrew Jarmus, Dean, St. Mary's Orthodox Cathedral, Minneapolis, MN


    Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.  (Galatians 6:2)
