Meditations for Pascha Quotes

“How often we prefer division with regard to language and culture over union in the Spirit of Truth! The Holy Spirit is a spirit of unity, and in this unity we find not a flattening of human variety, but harmonious diversity: rich and poor, erudite and simple, young and old, male and female. It is the human and sinful element of the Church that often tries to turn the Church into a gathering of like-minded people with common cultural interests: a church for
a particular ethnic group, a church for the young, a church for the old, a church for the super-pious.”
