☦ Orthodox Christianity: Quote from St. Anthony the Great

[sprinkleeninow]

Stay where you are and blossom where you’re planted. But Anthony also said, “A day will come when people will be completely insane, and they’ll say to those who are sane, ‘You’re insane; you’re not like us.’ ” And I believe that time is here for the Western world. Who in America right now is really insane? Frankly, it’s not a party division. It’s ideological and personal and self-seeking among all the parties, in one way or another. But that’s not our business. Our business is to do and to try to understand our faith as well as we can and to put it into practice, and admit it when we’re put up against a wall and we’ve got to come through.
