It's Later Than You Think | Fr Seraphim Rose | Photo with Modern Cinematic Poster Typography | Heavyweight Cotton Unisex Orthodox T-ShirtEverything in this life passes away only God remains, only He is worth struggling towards. We have a choice: to follow the way of this world, of the society that surrounds us, and thereby find ourselves outside of God; or to choose the way of life, to choose God Who calls us and for Whom our heart is searching. + Venerable St Seraphim Rose of Platina

yet the Lord took not pleasure in them

removing the bitter taste of evil

defended against the flood of strong enemies in the next battle

salvation is attainable and given to all

And hope does not disappoint us

For the Lord rightly forsakes the proud that the rest of us may learn not to be puffed up

He who has conquered the passions has conquered nature

even to death

- St Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians

who are willing to enslave themselves to the demons

Both now and ever

unable to accomplish it easily and accumulating for yourselves a very great  burden of sins
