Orthodox Quote for January 8
“…you just get so discouraged that you smash the[printing] machine, then you have lost the battle. The battle is not how many copies per hour come out: the battle is what your soul is doing. If your soul can be saving itself and producing words which can save others, all the better; but if you are producing words which can save others and are all the time destroying your own soul, it’s not so good. “
(Fr Seraphim Rose+, homily in 1977 on St Patrick’s Day)
