“We choose the path to follow in this life — to love Him and do His will, or not. If we choose to tread the right path, we find that we must make the decision daily, indeed every minute, if we will stay on the path or perhaps take a detour now and then with the distractions of this world. We all stray. We fall. Then we call to God to help us. He always answers, although not always according to our time clock or in the way we think He should. It is up to us to trust.”
(From the ‘Veil’ of the Protection of the Holy Virgin Orthodox Monastery)
