“Living in a non-Orthodox society we also succumb in many ways to the more prevailing Protestant attitude of ‘once saved, always saved’ instead of seeing ourselves as sinners who fall every day, every hour, every minute.  This is why we constantly beseech the Lord in our private prayers and the daily services in church with ‘Lord have mercy.’”
(From ‘The Veil’ of  Protection of the Holy Virgin Monastery in CO)
