Superficially Faithful

"Today, we are very lukewarm, and we think superficially about our salvation. We do not imbed deeply within ourselves the thought of what we will encounter and what our eyes will behold. Time passes - the hours pass, our days go by, they are continually passing - and we do not make an effort to do anything. When a soul has not experienced the sweetness of divine grace, it cannot struggle in the same way as the soul that has been sweetened. This is why struggle is necessary."
- Gerondissa Makrina of Volos
