“…if I serve God faithfully, if I fulfill God’s statutes, rules, and laws, then I am a patriot, and the best kind, because through me, the sinner, who strives to fulfill these laws, God’s blessing goes onto our whole land, and onto our people. If I do not do this, if I live contrary to the Divine Law, then one can beat one’s chest with one’s fist that I am a great patriot, and thus harm oneself, one’s people, and the land. Because God’s grace does not reach the land through a sinful vessel.”
(Metropolitan Onuphry, 21st Century Metropolitan of Ukraine) [Society; Witness]
