Excerpt from a Sermon On The Sunday of Orthodoxy:
We all sin, we all transgress Christ's commandments and the laws of the holy Church; but some acknowledge themselves to be sinners and repent of their transgressions, while others, instead, reject the very laws and do not want to submit to them. They say that these laws are outdated, that they are no longer needed (as if we are smarter than those who gave us the Church laws, which the Lord Himself gave through His Apostles and hierarchs). Here before you are two paths - the path of the wise thief and the path of the one who was pulled down to hades by the weight of his blasphemy.
