To the chosen Leader and Intercessor, the All-Merciful, who protects us from enemies visible and invisible, who knows all the secrets of our souls and covers our infirmities with the fragrance of the mercy of her Son, we offer a song of thanksgiving. And you, O Mother of Light, do not abandon us who are perishing, who from the depths of sin cry out: Rejoice, Mother of God, Fragrant Flower!

- Akathist to the Mother of God, "The Fragrant Flower"

☦️

The rose does not speak, but puts forth a strong fragrance. We too, should put forth fragrance, pour forth spiritual fragrance, the fragrance of Christ. The fragrance of our deeds should be heard from far around: good, pure, and righteous deeds, full of love. Only thus can the kingdom of God appear within our hearts, appearing not through words, but with power. Amen.

+ St. Luke of Simferopol
