Author of quotes: Sergey I. Fudel

We have lost the sense of sin.

To be Church means to start on the Strait and sorrowful path of Christ, and as little daring one at that! How much easier to sit "near the Church walls" in the sun, listening to the birds and Smoking, meditate easily on this crowded and sorbetti. We are, as believers would.

The feeling of the end of Christianity as a social force the stronger and rarer "the mystery of faith in a pure conscience".
I remember one trial that was the message at the end of last, that is the nineteenth, century. The village girl was returning from home to school after the Easter holiday. Carried it a few cents money, a basket of some homemade pies and a dozen eggs. On the way to Rob her killed. Then the murderer was caught. Money he is not found, the pies were eaten, but the eggs remained. Random question of the investigator why he did not eat and eggs, came the reply: "How could I eat! After all, the day was a vegetable".
It's scary not because it's a judicial fact, but because behind this observe fasting murderers feel the links in a long chain Dating back centuries. This case is only revealed for a moment the process of decay, which was celebrated in the Russian Church in the XIX century. "I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead" (Revelation of St. John the Evangelist 3:1) are words not to man, but to the Church.

The heart always wants faith, because it organically wants heat. But the mind resists because it can take faith - it means to get off of the podium, to accept and to be released from the bondage of pride.

Our minds are forever searching for definitions, a one - legged man crutches.

To prove it is impossible, you can only show a living breathing truth. To convince only the persuasiveness of their personal happiness in her exuberance of his divine joy of faith.

Christianity is Easter night of humanity, standing at the "gates of the Kingdom."

... the meaning of life is terribly simple: to try always and everywhere to keep warm heart, knowing that it will need somebody else that we always need someone else.
