"The most difficult thing—and not only in our time but always—is obedience and the denial of one’s own will. It is met with more resistance, more sharply today when a person lives in complete satisfaction, when the material world gives him all he wants. When there is no poverty, then one must reject all the external glitter, and as I said, this is not so hard. But what is hard is denying your own will." (Archbishop Mark Arndt, 21st Century Russian Orthodox hierarch in Germany, on modern monasticism) [Faith; Obedience; Sanctification] holycross-hermitage/holycrosshermitage/gallery106/images/Annunciation_and_Veneration_of_Cross_2013_15.jpeg pravoslavie.ru/english/63269.htm
