Orthodox Quote for August 11
“Outwardly bowing down before the great Cross of Christ and His Passion, singing the praises of the weapon of our salvation, one skillfully and inventively side-steps one’s own personal saving cross. Then what often occurs is a horrendous pseudo-spiritual life – a playing with spiritual life. This game, by giving birth to a false understanding of spirituality, has begun to swamp the world with false spirituality.”
(Archimandrite John Krestiankin+, Letter )
