is like a man who is swimming and wants to clap his hands

If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother

but permits them to die

- Matthew 19:16-30

and observe the splendor of the kingdom there

I bind unto myself today the power in the love of the Seraphim

and then finally returned permanently to the Trinity Lavra of St Sergius
