“…we accept this light with our good will, which we express through our love towards Him, through prayer, through our participation in the life of the Church, and through the sacraments. Often neither labor, nor prostrations, nor crossing ourselves attract’s God’s grace. There are secrets. The most important thing is to go beyond the formal aspects and go to the heart of the matter. Whatever is done must be done with love.”
(Elder St. Porphyrios in ‘Wounded by Love’)
