Archpriest George Zavershinsky
It’s impossible for man to see God. But the Son Whom He sent utters Divine words in human language and reveals God’s truth about being in this world.
You can glorify God not so much with the creation of your own hands—with the beautiful interior of churches, icons, and vestments—as with an inner spiritual response, feeling God’s presence where His voice is heard.
St. Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky), Archbishop of Crimea
One can be a bearer of light even while living without light; and one can live in sunlight while being dead, having no spiritual light within himself.
Priest Dmitry Baritsky
This is one of the key ideas of the Gospel: blessings from God often come through a person. A person is a mediator.
Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol
As soon as the contents of the censer were poured out on earth, seven angels with seven trumpets come, ready to blow. And then the Apostle begins to talk about what each of the angels trumpeted.
