Excerpts from the introduction:

 

… With great skill, Satan exploits this passion of sexual lust in a variety of ways, seeking to destroy the keystone of our civilized society: the traditional family….

My brothers and sisters in Christ, our society is super-saturated with pleasure-arousing attractions: provocative movies, TV programs with commercials that openly glorify promiscuity; graphic, unchristian sexual education materials which many public middle schools are using in their “health” classes (alas! Even in some grammar schools); a plethora of pornographic websites, which are easily accessible to our youth; and cell phone apps created specifically for sexually active teenagers. The pornographic lifestyle assaults the senses wherever we look…

The fruits of this corruption are being harvested in a nation that is replacing the worship of God with the worship of fulfilling one’s desires. …


From the prayers:

Behold my sorrow and the groaning of my heart, O venerable one! Behold the imprisonment of my life! Save me from my sin, and take pity on my soul by thy mediations before the Lord!

Ode 9
