Orthodox Quote for December 19
“…faith is not an abstract theory but a positive teaching that demands certain behavior and imposes definite responsibilities, not everyone is willing to change his life around to adapt to its high moral standards… It calls him to overcome his selfishness, to live moderately, to do good to others, even to sacrifice himself.”
(Bishop Alexander Mileant+, ‘Nature of Faith’)
