Wisdom from the Holy Fathers
An elder said, "You must always be prepared when you sail. Even if you see calmness around, you must expect to be confronted with a storm of temptations and tribulations. Tribulations often bring us to a better spiritual state. Besides, God is mysterious in His ways."
On Patience during Temptations
