People can be attracted by anything. Both gazing the beauty of the Divine Liturgy and serving a noble purpose. However, we risk missing out on the most basic. The Lord left nothing more than His commands. And the main commandment is to love all and especially the enemies. The closer we are to the end, the colder and harder we become. When lawlessness prospers, love becomes heartless. The key for every Christian is love. That is why love must always be the answer to the coldness and cruelty of this world.
Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov, Bishop of Stavropol
