What answer shall we give to our immortal King, Christ our God, Who
shall come again in the glory of His Father to judge both the quick and the
dead, to declare the secret thoughts of all hearts, and receive from us our
answer for every word and deed. O, woe, woe, woe to us who bear the name of
Christ, but have none of the spirit of Christ in us; who bear the name of
Christ, but do not follow the teaching of the Gospel! Woe to us who ‘neglect so
great salvation’! Woe to us who love the present fleeting, deceptive life, and
neglect the inheritance of the life that follows after the death of our
corruptible body beyond this carnal veil!
Saint John of Kronstadt
