Orthodox Quote for January 24
“Good works not done in the name of God are not of God. Those works are for self-glorification. That is why Christ says with men salvation is impossible. Salvation is a mystery. Our job is to do as best we can in following Christ, to do good works in the name of Christ and to meet Christ at the Eucharistic cup. Our job is to ultimately allow Christ to wash us clean and then we can say: Lord, not our will but yours.”
(Fr Themi Adamopoulo of paradise4kids)
