“It’s a great thing to be an ambassador for Reagan, or Gorbachev, or Mitterand, or Elizabeth of England. But I (“when I say, ‘I,’ I mean a priest,”), insignificant, pitiful, and unworthy, am an ambassador of His Majesty the Most High God, Creator and Ruler of the universe. What can be greater than that? What can be higher? What is more excellent?”
(Archimandrite Epiphanios Theodoropoulos+, letter)
