DONT REACT Receiving temptations with a peaceful heart Trials and temptations, when received by a peaceful heart, bring forth healing and make the soul stronger and healthier. Reacting does nothing but usher in paralysis of the soul, for it binds us to our fallen nature. When we receive all temptations with a peaceful heart, and do not react to outside negative stimulus, we are made stronger for the next round of trials and temptations. And, little by little, we find our heart transformed into the image and likeness of the Prince of Peace, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Love in Christ, Abbot Tryphon
