Dead to this World | Christian Goth Flower Cross & Skull | 70s Typography | Bestselling Design | Orthodox Christian Art PosterThe man who has withdrawn from the world in order to shake off his own burden of sins, should imitate those who sit outside the city amongst the tombs, and should not discontinue his hot and fiery streams of tears and voiceless heartfelt groanings until he, too, sees that Jesus has come to him and rolled away the stone of hardness from his heart, and loosed Lazarus, that is to say, our mind, from the bands of sin, and ordered His attendant angels:

And the floors shall be full of wheat

and having come to hate even his own flesh

which means the mortification of the flesh and passions and holy and perfect peace

soften the hardness of my soul

Let us patiently endure the sorrows of life

- Psalm 16:10 (MT)

but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place

God created the heavens [Hebrew הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם ha-shamayim: plural] and the earth [Hebrew הָאָֽרֶץ׃ erets: singular]

- Matthew 13:24-30

and he shall be My son

- Revelation 3:21

when I open your graves
