Expanding Thoughts on Lesson

  • Individuals as the Temple of God
    • "In spiritual subjugation, i.e. in absolute obedience to Christ, one finds limitless freedom." - Alexander Dostoyevsky in “The Brothers Karamzov”
    • “In freeing the soul from the world’s onerous influence, it allows the soul to breathe freely and to taste the sweetness of spiritual freedom. Walking into church we walk into a completely different world, are influenced by it, and change according to it.” - St. Theophan the Recluse in “The Path to Salvation”
