“External events are, in fact, manifestations of the spiritual states of humanity. It is impossible to heal humanity through political means, because the root of the illness lies on the spiritual level. Therefore, as long as this dimension is ignored, the sickness of the world will only continue to advance. By rejecting faith in the Resurrection, man thus condemns himself to death. And this condemnation is the true nature of despair.”
Saint Sophrony the Athonite, The Mystery of the Christian Life, chapter 11
