"There is one thing that we should know: that we, as people, must feel the necessity for prayer (contact with God), so that the devil does not control us. It is not that God needs our prayer and punishes us because we fail to pray. God is wholly love and mercy: He is not a tyrant. Therefore, when we cannot offer great prayers, we offer small ones, in order to be sanctified."
Translated from Modern Greek to Russian by Tatiana Samoylenko, and from Russian by Habib Saliou
