Ἐπίστρεψον, ψυχή μου, εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσιν, κ.τ.ἑ Ἀνάπαυσις τῆς ψυχῆς ἡ τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων ἀποκοπή· κατατείνει γὰρ αὑτὴν ἡ ἁμαρτία, καὶ πάσας αὐτῆς τὰς δυνάμεις συντρίβει. Ὅθεν καὶ τὸ βάπτισμα, ὡς ἀπαλλαγὴν ἁμαρτημάτων ἔχον, ὕδωρ ἀναπαύσεως, ὁ Δαυϊδ προσηγόρευσε. Τὴν ψυχὴν τοίνυν ὡς ἐν ἁμαρτίαις πλανηθεῖσαν ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς τὴν ἀνάπαυσιν, ἤ διὰ τοῦ βαπτίσματος, ἤ διὰ τῶν δακρύων καὶ τῆς μετανοίας, προτρέπεται. Ὠριγένης, Εἰς Ψαλμους, Ψαλμος ΡΙΑ' Source: Migne PG 12 1576 |
Turn, my soul, to your rest...1 The rest of the soul is abstinence from sin; for sin strives against it and crushes down all its virtue. Whence baptism, in which is found deliverance from sin, David names the water of resting. 2 Therefore the soul wandering in sin is exhorted to turn to rest, either by baptism, or by the tears of penitence. Origen, Excerpta On the Psalms, from Psalm 114 1 Ps 114.7 2 Ps 22.2 |
