I felt a kind of love that no one in my life could have given me; my soul became dazzlingly bright—I was experiencing a feeling of fullness.
Archpriest Maxim Kozlov
And so, we must reflect on whether our faith in God, our personal relationship with the Creator, is based not on what we imagine God to be, but on the objective witness of Divine Revelation, which, for the Christian, is always Holy Scripture.
St. Philaret of Chernigov
Truth in Christ and through Christ is the wisdom of God. Christ is the power and wisdom of God for those who are called.
Hieromonk Philofei (Makharramov)
What happened on the Cross? The deification of the human will, the will that Christ took upon Himself.
Hieromartyr Thaddeus (Uspensky)
Man can’t live without roof and shelter, without which he would suffer from cold, bad weather, wind, etc. And the holy Church leads him into the spiritual dwelling of the church of God, where the soul warms itself and returns to life, having been chilled as if completely frozen from the cold, from the “winter of passions.”
