“Someone said to me today ‘Father, I don’t know how long I can hold on for… I’m falling and I can’t hold on…’ A very common feeling we all have… The answer is very simple. Look at the Icon of the Resurrection, look at how Christ is holding on to Adam and Eve. He holds them not by the hand, but by their wrist. We don’t hold on, Christ holds on to us, so that we can’t fall away, even though we feel our strength is failing us, Christ is the One Who pulls us and lifts us back up, all we need to do is stretch out our arms to Him and He will lift us up from the depths of despair and darkness. Christ is Risen!” – Fr Demos
