“In general, we are in an anti-spiritual, an anti-Christian age. Whatever is true is being attacked, especially the Orthodox faith, the truth of Christ. We should not worry nor be in anxiety. A faithful man will do whatever he can, will struggle, and the rest, whatever he cannot do, he will leave to God, he will leave to Christ. Wherever we may be, no one can stop us from living a spiritual life and progressing in it and becoming sanctified. Yes, the world and the devil are indeed problems, but the greatest obstacles are ourselves and our own passions.”
Geronda Efthymios of Kapsala
