“Why does striving for imaginary ‘freedoms’ lead to slavery? The reason is simply that we cannot give evil free rein, because when it is not restrained in any way, it easily enslaves people.” — Archbishop Averky, The Struggle for Virtue
Today’s reading on Christian freedom is taken from:
The Struggle for Virtue: Asceticism in a Modern Secular Society
by Archbishop Averky (Taushev)
Available in print and digital form, wherever books are sold.
Music: Sessional Hymn after the third ode at Matins for Holy Saturday. Automelon: Thy tomb, O Saviour
