St John of Kronstadt
How will it be with us in the future life, when everything that has gratified us in this world: riches, honors, food and drink, dress, beautifully furnished dwellings, and all attractive objects – how will it be, I say, when all these things leave us – when they will all seem to us as a dream, and when works of faith and virtue, of abstinence, purity, meekness, humility, mercy, patience,
obedience, and others will be required of us?
