"Whenever physical hunger turned cruel against me, I found my gratification in prayer. Whenever the biting cold of winter was unkind to me, I found my warmth in prayer. Whenever people were harsh to me (and their harshness was severe indeed) I found my comfort in prayer. In short, prayer became my food and my drink, my outfit and my armor, whether by night or by day." Fr. Matta El Meskeen (Matthew the Poor)

Father Arseny
This is a beautiful story and I recommend everyone to read Fr. Arseny's book. This is an excerpt from one of the chapters that my beloved brother shared on his blog and I thought I would share the beauty and to see how one ought to live there lives. This is what it is meant and exemplified by living out ones liturgy. Father Arseny never held back and always lived according to the will of God in every insistent that was presented to him. I hope you see the beauty from this one small example of his life and in seeing the beauty and we live out our liturgy constantly in our lives!
