Bishop Pachomy (Bruskov)
Christianity did not happen in Russia as a result of a stroke of a single ruler’s pen. It has spread among our forefathers earlier.ff
If we can’t or don’t know how to get through to someone, we have to ask the Lord to translate from our ordinary language into the language of this person’s heart.

As the Lord said in the Gosples, He that is able to receive it, let him receive it (Mt. 19:12): one person may be capable of living an intense inner life, regularly go to church, and continually search his own conscience—as St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov) says, so that their minds would always swim in the Gospels, in the teachings of Christ. Another person might be so inwardly disposed that it is an ascetic labor for him to receive Communion only twice a year.
