“We may not consider the Word of God as having primary importance for us. We become a people wanting action, information that can be used immediately. We have created a consumer-like material world for ourselves, and this is tragic. We can become indifferent to the Word of God and the Holy Tradition of our Church. We fail to remember that man cannot live by bread alone but by the bread of the Divine Word.”
(Father Vasilios, All Saints Monastery in New York)
