“All
of our clothes, sooner or later, will grow old and tear. But our
spiritual clothing, which are the virtues: love, faith, hope, endurance,
meekness, humility – with which we clothe ourselves spiritually, with
which we show ourselves as Christians. For, being Christian is not only
our declarative statement: I am a Christian. Or as is said today: I
celebrate my Slava. One wishes to prove with such statements that
they’re Christian. It is proof only in words. Christianity is life,
brothers and sisters, live according to Christ, life according to the
Gospel”
