It is from revelation, the authentic and true religion. The other religions are human, hollow. They do not know the greatness of the Triune God. They do not know that our aim, our destiny, is to become gods according to grace, to attain likeness with the Triune God, to become one with Him and among ourselves. These are things the other religions do not know. The ultimate aim of our religion is that they may be one. Here the work of Christ finds completion. Our religion is love, it is eras, it is enthusiasm, it is madness, it is longing for the divine. All these things are within us. Our soul demands that we attain them.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8e1aa\" data-offset-key=\"cnvh6-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"cnvh6-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"cnvh6-0-0\"> &#8211; &#8216;Wounded by Love&#8217;<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"cnvh6-0-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4371\" src=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Russian-Monastery-mount-athos-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Russian-Monastery-mount-athos-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Russian-Monastery-mount-athos.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Our religion is the religion of religions.
