St John of Kronstadt: Christian hope is our hope of union with God in the future life...

Christian hope is our hope of union with God in the future life.

Even in our present Christian state everything corresponds and is directed towards such union, both material and spiritual blessings: the grace of God in the Church, the Divine service, the sacraments, our conscience, our inward trial and cleansing by God, prayers, the fruits of prayers, the afflictions that cleanse our hearts, and the sicknesses.


"Let him take up his cross."

Our present union in fervent prayer and in the sacrament of the Holy Communion prepares us for future heavenly union; the gift of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of Christians assures them of this.

Owing to the same reason, every other union of the heart, except union with God and for His sake, is strictly forbidden us. Therefore we must "abstain from fleshly lusts " and every sin.

St John of Kronstadt
