John 12:28-36

1 Cor. 1:18-24

John 19:6-11, 13-20, 25-28, 30

Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, present everywhere and filling all things. Treasury of blessings, and giver of life, come and abide in us. Cleanse us from every stain, and save our souls gracious Lord.

"When a soul is prepared and ascends to Heaven, the demons can't bother it. However, if it is not prepared, it is tortured at the toll-houses. Sometimes God allows the toll-houses to be seen for the soul of a person who needs it, at the hour in which it is in agony, to help us who are still alive, that we might struggle to pay our debts here. Do you remember the event with Theo-dora? God's dispensation, in other words, allowed some things to be seen, to help others to repent."

St. Paisios the Athonite
