Preparing for Battle – How to use our moments of peace to survive the DARK times

During the good times, the moments of peace in our lives, we tend to relax and imagine that this spiritual bliss will last forever. Instead, we should make the most of these upbeat periods, to prepare for the battles ahead, to gather our strength and develop new 'spiritual skills'. While we have peace, we should prepare for battle. While in the Light, we should develop a survival 'mode', a survival strategy for when darkness returns.

Fr Seraphim, from the Orthodox Monastery of All Celtic Saints on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, talks about the need to keep our focus during our good spiritual periods, so we are stronger and better prepared when temptation hits next.
