Sermon VII

The body is made up of the same elements that the earth is. Therefore, if our bod are healthy, part  of the earth is healthy as we are a portion of it. It must be taken into great consideration that the bulk  of human beings make up  the wellbeing  of the planet .  If a majority of the human inhabitants of the earth are sick, it means  that most of the earth is ill. So, it goes so for animals, vegetation and for nature in general. All humans, animals and nature in general make up  the whole Mother earth, and the whole depends on its parts of its condition of wellbeing. To be in the grace of God we have to be conscious of our responsibility  of having a healthy mind, soul and body. Of course we all get ill, but this physical illness, though very dangerous, doesn’t have the impact of a sick soul.  It is well accepted by many wise men that the physical condition of our minds and of course’ the minds are just an instrument of our soul. If it is natural to get sick and die, this act should be within the grace of our souls and grace comes from our link with God Almighty. And as we have all been told the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and the grace that comes from God and from God alone is the one that can maintain our body in the proper state to receive the Holy Spirit.
