our sins through the most humiliating death, and Who
now constantly thinks about us, directing us toward
our salvation.
Absence of fear of God and reverence before him.
Careless, inattentive prayers, irreverent behaviour in
church before the Holiest of the Holy, disrespect for
the clergy. No conscious realisation of death and the
expected Final Judgment. This condition ensues from
a mindless attitude toward faith, which in turn prompts
us to perform many of our obligations perfunctorily,
through habit, just as it is written in the Bible: "as this
people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their
lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far
from Me" (Is. 29:13).
Disobedience toward GodÁ-?s will. This usually takes
the form of open disagreement with GodÁ-?s will as
expressed in His Commandments, Holy Gospel,
directives of the spiritual father, voice of oneÁ-?s own
conscience, misinterpret the will of God in oneÁ-?s own
favour so that it either justifies his actions or con-
demns another, placing oneÁ-?s will above that of GodÁ-?s,
practicing senselessly ardent acts of asceticism and
obliging others to emulate them, not honouring prom-
ises given to God during past Confessions.
Frivolous attitude to God and Church. The use of
GodÁ-?s name in jokes and idle conversations; flippant
conversations and jokes on items of Faith; cursing or
swearing with the use of His name.
Mercenary attitude toward faith: Rushing to church
and turning to God in times of need, not from feelings
of love for Him or for the sake of saving oneÁ-?s soul,
but for the ulterior motive of receiving something
instant and earthly. Having achieved success or with a
change of the situation, the person reverts to his cus-
tomary mundane activities.
Sins Against One's Neighbour
Judging. Proclivity toward noting faults in others and
present them in a reproaching manner. Sometimes,
without even realising his judgmental actions toward
his neighbour, that personÁ-?s heart formulates a distort-
