“The witness of the saints and the message of St. Paul remain clear: until we truly decide to believe the Church rather than ourselves, until we learn to trust and to imitate our fathers in the faith, and until we finally understand that Jesus Christ really is the same yesterday and today and forever, we will have absolutely nothing of any worth to offer to anyone. Any truth that we preach, or any morality that we defend, will only be a hollow imitation. It will not save us, and it will not save the world.”
(Hieromonk Gabriel, ‘Remembering Sion’)
