Saint John of Kronstadt

Complete waste of time

24 July 2022

Those who pray must ardently desire spiritual blessings, such as the remission of sins, purity of heart, sanctification, and progress in the virtue for which they’re praying. Otherwise, their prayer will bear no fruit and will be a total waste of time.
