Orthodox Quote for August 10
“The chief thing in Christianity, according to the clear teaching of the Word of God, is the fire of divine zeal, zeal for God and His glory, the holy zeal which alone is able to inspire man in labors and struggles pleasing to God, and without which there is no authentic spiritual life and there is not and cannot be any true Christianity. Without this holy zeal Christians are ‘Christians’ in name only.”
(Archbishop Averky+, ‘Works of Archbishop Averky’)
