Orthodox Quote for August 21
“That the poor suffer under the weight of the rich and that the weak have to fight for their rights against the strong is only to be expected. That is not news. But that the God who made the world should have to fight with His back to the wall against overwhelming odds is news. That He won even when He lost is unexpected news. And that by His victory all men might enter into life and joy is news almost too good to be true. But it is true nonetheless. It is miraculous news, and perhaps that is why many men have a strange and perverse disinclination to believe it.”
(Fr Lawrence Farley, ‘No Other Foundation’ blog)
