Bishop Euthymius (Moiseyev)
That’s why faith is needed, and, to be more precise, trust in God. We need the experience of overcoming evil in its various manifestations, and the Lord can be known and revealed to us in overcoming trials.
In Orthodoxy, Divine Providence is called good and all-perfect—that is, it always works for the good of man, guiding him to salvation.
Hieromonk Irenei (Pikovsky)
The Holy Hierarch Cyprian is still liturgically venerated at Sretensky Monastery as its founder.
When I was visiting the site of St. John’s ascetic labors and Rila Monastery, it seemed as if I were on Mt. Athos, where everything breathes the mystery of Communion with God, the mystery of ascetic labors and the prayer of the heart.
