Day 18 (3rd Thursday of the Great Fast)
“Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Cor 12:8-10)
“When St. Anthony entered to the internal desert, the demons watched him dauntingly, saying, ‘O You young of age and mind, how did you dare to enter our territory, as we have never seen a human before you.’ And they all started to fight him. He said to them, ‘O strong ones, what do you want from me, the weak; And who am I so that you all gather to fight me. Don’t you know that I am ashes and dust, and unable to fight the smallest in you.’
And he lay on the ground, shouting to God, ‘O God, help me, and strengthen my weakness. Have mercy on me, as I sought after You. Do not leave me; and do not let those who think that I am something overcome me.
O God, You know that I am unable to fight the smallest of these.’ When the demons heard this prayer full of life and humility they fled away, and did not dare to approach to him.”
