On the Christian Life
Of course, you need labor and effort, both mental and from the heart. Do not spare yourself. If
you do, you will ruin yourself. Do not spare yourself, and you will have salvation. Abandon a
certain wrongful activity that often strikes and afflicts almost everyone: That is, the fact that we
spare no labor on any matter except when it comes to that of salvation. We want to think that we
have only to contemplate salvation and desire it, and everything is all set. That is not how it
happens in reality. The matter of salvation is the most important thing. Consequently it is the
most difficult. This is by virtue of its importance and by the labor required. Labor then, for the
Lord's sake! Very soon you will see the fruit. If you do not set to work, however, you will be left
without anything and be unworthy. Deliver us, Lord, from this!
—St. Theophan the Recluse, The Spiritual Life and How to Be Attuned to It, Letter 51
The great challenge for Orthodoxy in the near future is not to find new and better ways of
adapting to the dominant culture by assimilation and thus becoming "relevant"; the challenge is
to establish and maintain genuine continuity with the Saints and Fathers of the past. This means
more education, for ignorance of the Faith among many Orthodox today is appalling and is the
single greatest factor in the crisis we are now facing.
—Fr. Alexey Young (now Hieromonk Ambrose)
