“…those who live without God. They do not endure their sorrows voluntarily, but only because they can’t get rid of them in any way. They often endure sorrows with curses and murmuring, but we Christians should bear our sorrows—which are connected with the name of Christ—in a completely different way, with utter submission to God’s will, and with gratitude to God for everything that happens to us. Gratitude for the good, the difficult, the bitter, and for all our sorrows.”
( St Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky), Archbishop of Crimea)
