“A timid faith is a vain faith. A timid word is an empty sound. Christ spoke as one who had authority, not timidly, like the pharisees and the sinners. Every word of Christ shines like a candle kindled in the darkness of this world. All the words of philosophers have either already gone out or else will go out..but there is no whirlwind either on earth or in the whole universe able to put out the candles of Christ.”

(St Nikolai Velimirovich ‘Through a Prison Window’)
