Isaac of Nineveh

Wow this was an awesome speech and had some really interesting and true points. I like how is said, and described the love that people have. When it said, "There is love like a small lamp, which goes out when the oil is consumed; or like a stream, which dries up when it doesn't rain. But there is a love that is like a mighty spring gushing up out of the earth; it keeps flowing forever and is inexhaustible". I really like hoe he says this. I think there are people like a lamp, they love only a certain few and get made rather easy. Then there are those have a stream, love others and want to help others but get made on occasion. There are then those like a spring, who love everyone and are always looking for ways to help others, those that change the world. I also like how it says when we pray to forget ourselves and dont fill your prayers with things that will benefit you. Rather we need to realize all that we have. It reads, " At every moment we trust out Father in heaven, whose love infinitely surpasses the love of all earthly fathers and who gives us more than we ourselves could ask for or ever imagine". We have so much that we dont realize all that we are blessed with. We need to take a step back and come to a realization of all we have and look for ways of how to help others. This was a great speech.

  1. I really enjoyed this passage also. I really liked the part where he talks about our prayers and if we had full trust in God how we may not pray about what we need as much.
