Cake with Oil or Tahini

Ingredients:
5 cups of rising flour
2 ½ cups of orange juice
¾ cup of cognac
1 spoonful of bicarbonate soda
1 ½ cup of smashed walnuts
½ cup of smashed almonds
1 teacup of oil or a cup of tahini
1 spoonful of ground cinnamon and carnation
Lemon peels
Orange peels
1 cup of raisins
2 ½ cups of sugar

 

Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients well, except for the raisins, to make a curdy dough. If the tahini is too curdy, dilute it with the lemon juice. Also, dilute the bicarbonate soda in the cognac. Finally, wash and dry the raisins, cover them with flour them and add them in the dough last. This happens so that the raisins won’t stand at the bottom of the dough. Oil and flour a baking pan. Put the dough in it. Spread the dough in the baking pan, so that it will be 2-3 cm thick, in order to be baked correctly. Bake it in medium temperature until it is well strained over an hour. If it is browned, cover it with grease proof paper, so that it won’t get burnt. If you stick a knife sideways and it comes out clean, then the cake is ready.

Eldress Galaktia of Crete: Prayer to our Lord

Eldress Galaktia of Crete: Prayer to our Lord

«Lord, grant me only humility and silence. I ask nothing else from You. Humility births love for all Your creations. I know that I am the greatest sinner, and no one else in the universe has embittered You as much as I, the despicable one, have. Help me to live with this every day. Do not let the devil fool me into thinking I am something when I am nothing. Grant me only to feel how sinner I am and help me to follow Your commandments to find mercy from Your countless love. Do not let me despair because of my sins but let me rejoice every day because You have mercy on me and will save me because You are compassionate. Do not let me have evil thoughts or judge my fellow human beings. I am to blame for them, and since I am the cause of their sin, I must only judge myself. Lord, Lord, do not deprive me of the river of Your divine mercy. Amen!».
