Orthodox Quote for August 1
“The Gospels free us from the spirit of ignorance and evil; they draw out that hidden goodness in man and put it in the forefront of life. Christ’s Word cleanses and educates the inner depths of our human existence, “the heart,” the conscience…. Whosever wishes to know Truth must first of all open up within himself that man who is capable of knowing that Truth.”
(Archbishop John Shahovskoy in “Parish Life’)
