 10 1,4    |           cause of Christianity. It may be instructive to enumerate
 11 1,4    |             both means we ourselves may be saved and they drawn
 12 2,1    | spirituality. Three initial remarks may provide a helpful context
 13 2,2    |             Gospel. Most Christians may be familiar with some of
 14 2,2    |         hymns of the Easter service may serve as an illustration:~ ~
 15 2,3    |           eyes of our minds that we may comprehend the message of

 17 2,3    |            Truth itself, however it may be perceived, including
 18 2,4    |         Incarnation of the Word[61] may serve as an example of the

 21 3,1    |          Church by which the Church may be empowered to continue
 22 3,1    |        mission in North America. It may be rather startling to suggest
 23 3,1    |           that its beauty and power may be released by God’s grace.~
 24 3,2    |           the character our culture may be quickly mentioned: the
 25 3,2    |            in the streets of Boston may well express a diffused
 26 3,3    |       benefit. Although individuals may be inspired and benefit
 27 3,4    |           of preaching and teaching may serve as examples of how
 28 3,4    |         obligations, although these may be neither enjoyable nor
 29 3,4    |             and light wherever they may be in the world. In the
 30 3,4    |           so that the life of Jesus may be manifest in our mortal
 31 4,2    |             trinitarian view of God may be traced back to German
 32 4,3    |           people in order that they may serve him, the Holy One,
 33 5,1    |             us and our ways that we may be worthy of God’s blessings.
 34 5,1    |            and reading about prayer may be inspirational, but they

 36 5,2    |             his teachings on prayer may be found in a valuable anthology
 37 5,3    |            of these forms. A prayer may begin with the praise of
 38 5,3    |          praise to God. Or a prayer may begin with thanksgiving,
 39 5,3    |       essential meaning, or what we may call the theology of prayer:
 40 5,4    |            to most of us because it may entail significant changes
 41 5,4    |   weaknesses, that the power of God may rest upon me. For the sake
 42 5,5    |           here. Prayer as communion may grant us life-changing moments
 43 5,5    |           and pain come our way, it may seem that we have been abandoned
 44 5,5    |             by God and that despair may be engulfing our soul. It
 45 6,1    |           the love of Christ that I may offend no man and pray for
 46 6,1    |             loves the Lord, and how may I hide this fire which warms
 47 6,1    |             hope that even one soul may come to love the Lord and
 48 6,1    |           the whole world,~that all may repent and know God, and
 49 6,1    |            your sins, that the Lord may~forgive them.[108]~  O ye
 50 6,2    |             communion with Him. One may know about God and still
 51 6,2    |            Lord. So it is now. Many may know about Christ but do
 52 6,2    |           philosophers and scholars may have arrived at a belief
 53 6,2    |            Only God reveals God. We may study as much as we will
 54 6,4    |           strength and knowledge he may have. God will honor the
 55 6,4    |         seems not to hear us. There may be several reasons for this,
 56 6,4    |           Saint. First, what we ask may be improper. Secondly, it
 57 6,4    |           be improper. Secondly, it may not be to our spiritual
 58 6,4    |             benefit. Finally, pride may separate us from nearness
 59 6,5    |       allows affliction so that man may perceive his weakness, his
 60 6,5    |    Surrender to the Lord so that He may guide you with His mighty
 61 6,6    |            what I must do that they may leave me.” The Lord's reply
 62 7,2    |           discernment and diagnosis may well be at times largely
 63 7,3    | considerations, as accurate as they may be, but from the actual
 64 7,3    |          love of a simple Christian may be far more healing for
 65 7,3    |             also suggested what now may be stated directly, namely,
 66 7,4    |         three levels of discernment may be called: (a) practical, (
 67 7,4    |      mystical. Some remarks on each may be in order.~ The practical
 68 7,4    |           At this level discernment may be called truly spiritual
 69 7,4    |           about everything. Theoria may be translated consciousness
 70 7,4    |          theological knowledge. One may possess a theological doctorate
 71 7,5    |           spiritual discernment. We may remember the exhortations
 72 7,5    |       kleptomania. In such areas it may well be that the modern
 73 8,1    |           epoch of Christianity, we may also gain from him some
 74 8,3    |     question (Rom.11:1,11,29). They may now be “enemies of God”
 75 8,3    |             to disobedience that He may show mercy upon all (Rom.
 76 8,3    |         which is His Body.~ Here we may note that Saint Paul's bold
 77 8,4    |    expressed by a rabbinic saying: “May the beauty of the Greeks

 82 9,2    |          God. Why? In order that we may have communion with God,
 83 9,2    |         communion with God, that we may share God’s personal life,
 84 9,2    |            s personal life, that we may live in the same spiritual
 85 9,2    |          and incomparable love.~ We may ask: What “property” does

 88 10,3   |          Eastern Orthodox tradition may well be the most authentic
 89 10,4   |       renewal of your mind that you may know what is the will of
 90 10,4   |          lived spirituality, but we may instead be filled with sinful
 91 10,5   |             our faith, feeble as it may be, God’s grace lifts it
 92 10,5   |            that the grace of Christ may glow to its full power.

 96 11,3   |          however culture-bound they may seem, which in their totality
 97 11,3   |            of our communities.~ You may by now object that I have
 98 11,3   |           such as ours, though they may manifest a number of formal
 99 11,3   |     dialogue. We both possess, if I may use the key terminology
100 11,3   |          limitations, as much as we may be inspired by the divine
101 11,3   |           dialogical process itself may be authenticated and enriched
102 11,4   |         blind faithfulness to roots may well turn out to be unfaithfulness!
103 11,4   |             its gifts and treasures may shine brightly and usefully
104 11,4   |              even those with whom I may strongly disagree? Christ
