Archpriest Geoffrey Korz
Righteous kings and queens—the saintly ones—are given to us as icons, here on earth, as heads of nations, to show us grace, and holiness, and righteousness, incarnate within our very governments.
Metropolitan Luke (Kovalenko) of Zaporozhye and Melitopol
How can we tell the difference between deceitful workers and true pastors? False apostles from servants of Christ? Outwardly they look the same. But inwardly they are completely different.
Even in your present state, Divine love and the path to salvation are not closed off to you. And then, you will be able to think about having a spouse, having children, and even more.
Vladimir Nemychenkov
The Lord violates not only the laws of nature, established by Himself, but also the philosophical schemes that try to limit the actions of His grace by some human rules that define “correct” and “wrong” icons.
The described wonderworking icon is nothing more than a reproduction on paper of the “St. Seraphim—Diveyevo Tenderness” Icon. That is, this is the same kind of “photo-reproduction” denigrated by some people.
