“tt is difficult to be an Orthodox Christian…However, the difficult part is not what you think. The fasting, long services, and prayers are tools. The real struggle is to repent. Repentance is not something one did in the past, repentance is an attitude toward life. One must be constantly turning away from self-centered and sinful tendencies and turning toward God.”
(Archpriest Michael Gillis, Canadian Orthodox priest)
