I sometimes hear comments about how important the children and young people are because they are "the future of the church." No. They are the present of the church.
This is sadly part of a very common occurrence in Kosovo. Vandals enter churches, set them on fire, then they urinate and defecate in them. ...
"The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide."
One of many worthwhile quotes from Metropolitan Anthony.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't printed them yet, I'd like to make a small suggestion for rewording the translation:
-What should we do with children in church? They bother us when we're praying.
-Once you start praying, they will stop bothering you.
