Fasting becomes a bridge between a person and God only when it is combined with prayer and the desire not only to correct some theoretical imperfections, but to root out concrete vices and shortcomings.
Natalia Shatova, Priest Anthony Borisov
From childhood our parents teach us the magic words: “thank you”, “please” and “sorry”. Some learn these lessons perfectly well, but others, alas, forget to thank their loved ones for a delicious dinner or a fresh shirt. And we must admit that we do not often say words of gratitude to our Savior.
