This quote answered some questions that puzzled me for some time: the question of lustful thoughts and prayers. The Orthodox in particular are blessed with many prayers, it could lead one to question if these prayers have any effect. The analogy given above about the Magician and the beasts is a great example to show the effect of the prayers. May the blessings of our Fathers be with us, we are lucky to have such direction. “Egziabher yestilign” means May God give to you what you have given to us (Amharic, Ethiopian language).
