Just when you’re about to pray, “Lord, crush the bones of sinners!” – your own bones start aching so bad you don’t know what to say anymore.

– Father, I think the smear campaign against the UOC was ordered from the top.
– No, son. It wasn’t from the top. It came from the bottom. Rock bottom.

– How are you doing, Orthodox flock?

– All is well, but we are not despairing.

Exercise in patience and humility.

Find someone online who is mistaken, gather all your will and do not respond to them.

Sometimes you sit there and think despondently: God, why do I deserve all this?!

And then you remember why.

And you think then: Well, it's not that bad...

Love your enemies, they are your most loyal fans.
