“It is very hard to live a Christian life and to “practice what we preach.” However, I think that often we fail because we don’t place a high enough priority on interior spiritual effort. We need to understand what inner spiritual effort is and seek to know how to put God first in this way.”
(Archimandrite Sergius Bowyer) [Prayer; Sanctification]
