Orthodox Quote for August 14
“Just as illness takes away a man’s last strength and health, so does sin take away from the soul its last strength of faith. Physical food restores physical strength, and spiritual food restores spiritual strength. The sacraments of the Church and prayer—that is the food that satiates a person’s soul and gives it the possibility to grow in faith.”
(Metropolitan Luke Kovalenko of Ukraine, ‘Wartime Notes’)
