“Sorrows and
persecutions drive us to turn to God. It
seems, humanly speaking, there is no hope, and we are persecuted, so we must
seek salvation from God. If it were not
for sorrows, we would probably not have turned to God. One should not be afraid of this.” When he was asked what those currently
experiencing various hardships should do, he replied: “Turn to God more
zealously and be humble before the will of God. Be drawn to God alone.”
Metropolitan Sergius of Ternopil and Kremenets
(Ukrainian Orthodox Church)
