It’s important to be a part of the Church.
I regarded this role as my calling to serve the Church, and I have never entertained the idea of looking for a different job or discontinuing this ministry.
Priest Alexei Bordzelovsky
As for motivation, you should ask yourself the question: “Do I want to be with God or not?”
Archpriest Nikolai Fedko
Now that churches are open and services are celebrated, it is sometimes very sad to see that people who call themselves Orthodox do not value this priceless gift—such intimate and living communion with God.
Archpriest Simeon Petrov
It was a tough time. For any word or action in support of the Church you could be given a prison term.
After school the pioneer leader stood on my way and said, “When will you stop going to church?” offering me anti-Church lectures and booklets to read. I answered, “I go to church and will continue to do so!”

If a child has small tasks and household chores, or when he can take care of someone and show his self-organization skills in everyday life, it will be easier for him to show the same qualities in a school setting.
