Holy Hierach Innocent (Borisov)
But what to do, brethren, for those of us who, in the time of spiritual wandering in the desert of fasting, did not stop turning our faces and hearts to Egypt, murmured at the bitter waters of repentance, and then, when Moses received the law on the mount, worshiped the golden calf at the foot of the mountain?

Hieromonk Pavel (Scherbachev)
No passion is born suddenly. It is carried and nurtured, and like a plant that grows from a seed, it has its own conditions, its own causes, its own periods and time before it pours out into action.
Today is the day of the Lord’s betrayal, a day dark and dolorous, which is why the Holy Church marks it on par with the day of the Lord’s death, with the seal of fasting throughout the whole year.
