The Church is a ship. Some may sleep on it, some may do nothing, some may battle the waves. But it still continues its journey, and all the passengers sail forward with it. The main thing is to be inside the Church. Therefore, try not to miss divine services and visit the temple more often. (Paisios of Mount Athos)
