Mother Maria

One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite saints. She martyred at a concentration camp taking the place of a jewish woman. If you're interested, here is here very interesting and inspiring story.

"It would be a great lie to tell searching souls: “Go to church, because there you will find peace.” The opposite is true. She tells those who are at peace and asleep: “Go to church, because there you will feel real anguish for your sins, for your perdition, for the world’s sins and perdition. There you will feel an unappeasable hunger for Christ’s truth. There, instead of becoming lukewarm, you will be set on fire; instead of pacified, you will become alarmed; instead of learning the wisdom of this world you will become fools for Christ.”
-Mother Maria Skobtsova
