If we don’t want it and don’t pursue it, grace won’t begin to act in us. God doesn’t want to intrude on the freedom He’s given us. Otherwise everyone would become a saint from one moment to the next, at God’s command.
As You are merciful, Christ, I beg you,through true fasting and repentance give life to me whose soul is slain by the fruit of our transgression. Grant that I may ever walk in the straight and pleasant paths of Your holy commandments and Your divine glory, and may be able to praise Your goodness in all things, Jesus, together with those who desire You. (Kathisma, Matins)

When we commemorate the saints for the first Sunday in Lent, the Sunday of Orthodoxy (when we read the Synaxari), we see: on that day, the first Sunday of the Fast, we commemorate the memory of the restoration of the holy and venerable icons, effected by the Emperors of Constantinople, Michael and his mother Theodora, of blessed memory, in the reign of Saint Methodios the Confessor, Patriarch’. In other words, we celebrate the adoption of the feast of Orthodoxy, which was established triumphantly by the Synod of Hierarchs residing in Constantinople on 11 March 843.
