Orthodox Quote for August 22
is an immutable spiritual law that in the problems that arise before you, you must seek the reasons not without, but within your own self. Even realizing that there are external forces extremely aggressive towards the Church, we must first of all be stricter towards ourselves. The apostle Paul says, Cut off occasion from them which desire occasion (2 Cor. 11:2).”
(Metropolitan Tikhon Shevkunov in “Something Precious”)
