“Only believe dreams that foretell torments and judgments for you.” -St. John Climacus

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal. Have Mercy On Us. (3x) Glory be to the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Good morning, and Praise the Lord! Today is Saturday August 10, 2024. Today we celebrate Laurence the Holy Martyr and Archdeacon of Rome.

All holy Trinity have mercy on us. Lord, forgive us our sins; Master pardon our transgressions; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities for your name’s sake.

Lord, have mercy (3x)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Romans 12:1-3

Matthew 10:37-42, 11:1

Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, present everywhere and filling all things. Treasury of blessings and giver of life. Come and abide in us, and save our souls, gracious Lord.

Devils often transform themselves into angels of light and take the form of martyrs, and make it appear to us during sleep that we are in communication with them. Then, when we wake up, they plunge us into unholy joy and conceit. But you can detect their deceit by this very fact. For angels reveal torments, judgments and separations; and when we wake up we find that we are trembling and said. As soon as we begin to believe the devils in dreams, then they make sport of us when we are awake, too. He who believes in dreams is completely inexperienced. But he who distrusts all dreams is a wise man. Only believe dreams that foretell torments and judgments for you. But if despair afflicts you, then such dreams are also from devils.

-St. John Climacus

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name

Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven

Give us this day our daily bread

Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory forever. Amen.
