Orthodox Quote for May 1
“Some people think that Christ as the Victor over death should protect from earthly temptations and evil those who love Christ and live in Him, so that nothing evil can touch them. But it is not the case. Christianity does not relieve a man from temptations of this world, it gives a man gracious strength for fittingly overcoming them.”
(Metropolitan Onuphriy of Ukraine, Pascha 2023)
