Αρ. 803 (THOUGHTS/ CARES/ CONCERNS/ PROBLEMS/ JESUS PRAYER) : In our today’s Paternal Advice I will restrict myself to only one piece of advice, which may seem to be very short, but it has a lot of depth, width and height.

What do we have to offer Him? Nothing!!!! Because, everything good we have is from God!!! Whatever evil
