 The Church Militant embodies the living Body of Christ on earth, while the Church Triumphant represents that same Body in Heaven. This mystical union between Heaven and earth discloses our participation within the divine life. This is a profound and transcendent connection where the saints intercede for us, as we engage in spiritual combat against demonic forces, we navigate an invisible war that rages around us. Whether we acknowledge it or not, this struggle (man/podvig) continues until our final breath.

Our ability to resist worldly temptations is foremost in our struggle. The evil one and his demons' nefarious goal is to ensnare us in sin. Our attachment to sin inhibits our ability to return to battle, the strength of our will matched to the Divine Will creates a synergy that allows us to conquer sin. Armed with our weapons of fervent prayer, repentance, and the Holy Mysteries, we possess the means to confront our adversaries. Although The Body's ultimate victory was secured through the Cross, we must remain vigilant (nepsis) in every skirmish we encounter. We must resolve to resist unto death by guarding our nous and pursuing stillness (hesychia. Acting together as The One Body of Christ, we draw strength for this sacred fight, knowing that each battle brings us closer to Divine Grace.

 

 

RESIST UNTO DEATH is a reminder for us all to resist the temptations and spirit of this world. To resist the temptation of pride and to continue in the fight unto death. 

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
