In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the One God, Amen. Peace and
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. "Do you wish to be a theologian and worthy of divinity? Keep the commandments, be
guided by the statues. Practice is based upon theory." St. Gregory the Theologian, 20th Oration. "Attain the Spirit of peace and thousands around you will be saved" St. Seraphim of Sarov. "Do not think that you maintain the true Gospel of Christ, if you separate
yourselves from the flock of Christ." St. Cyprian of Cathage. "Heretics think and teach false things about God and religion; then they call this
the "new faith". " St. Augustine. "He who does not have the Church as his mother cannot have God for his
Father." St. Cyprian of Cathage. "One will possess the Holy Spirit only in proportion to his reverence for and
adhesion to the Church of Christ." St. Augustine. "He who does not believe according to the tradition of the undivided, universal
Church, is an unbeliever." St. John of Damascus. "Never separate yourself from the Church. For nothing is stronger than the Church.
Your hope is the Church alone; your salvation is inside the Church only, your refuge is
the Church. She is higher than the heavens, and wider than the whole earth. She never
grows old, but is always full of vigor and vitality. Holy Scripture (which would not even
exist were it not for the Church), when pointing to her strength and stability calls her
an unshakable mountain." St. John Chrysostom. " My friends, you should be made aware of this fact: the bishop is in the Church,
and the Church is in the bishop; and if anyone is not with the bishop, then he is not in
the Church." St. Cyprian of Carthage. Peace and grace. "The Word was made flesh in order to offer up this Body for all, and that
we, partaking of His Spirit, might be deified." Saint Athanasius the Apostolic. 298-373 AD.
