"The essence of monasticism is the renunciation of one's will, of one's self, and the striving, desire and courage to follow Christ. And it is easy to do it one day, two, three, a year. But the whole life... This is the real feat. But this feat is not hard when you feel that the Lord Himself is leading you. For the Lord promises that He will not leave you. And it is very important in our faith to remember that the Lord will arrange everything better than each of us has thought of himself. But for this we need to renounce our will and submit to His will"
Metropolitan Theognost of Kashira (Guzikov)
