St John of Kronstadt - Now we seek lasting bliss, and do not find it;

Now we seek lasting bliss, and do not find it; 

the pleasures which we invent are not lasting, 

they are false, vain, and of short duration; 

but if the Christian walks worthy of his vocation,

then he shall obtain as an inheritance 

a bliss which is true and lasting, 

and which shall completely satisfy 

the requirements of his soul.

St John of Kronstadt
