We all sin, we all violate the commandments of Christ...

We all sin, we all violate the commandments of Christ and the canons of the Holy Church, however, some confess that they are sinners and repent of their iniquities, while others reject the Holy Canons, claiming that they are outdated and no longer necessary.
The latter behave as if they were more spiritual than those who handed down to us the church Canons, which the Lord Himself gave to His Holy Apostles and Holy Hierarchs.
Two paths stretch before us:
the path of the wise robber who repented
and the path of the robber who was cast into hell under the weight of his blasphemy.
St. John Maximovich

St. John Maximovitch, Words and Sermons

By building temples here on earth, we are creating for ourselves eternal shelters in heaven. Decades will pass, our bodies will decay, perhaps nothing will remain of our bones. But our souls will live forever. Blessed is he who has prepared a dwelling place for his soul in the Heavenly chambers! Even if the churches that have been built are already destroyed, the names of their builders will be recorded in the eternal books of God and the prayers offered in them will be imprinted.
