We have deceived ourselves with transitory cares and with the greed of storing up much, eating much, living according to the body, and no longer having patience for prayer. This is due to our having extinguished our spirit and ardor of heart and to our being very dispersed and distracted in mind toward earthly things.”
(Fr. Joel Gheorghiu, interview)
