In the church — everyone: both good and bad, and beautiful people, and inveterate bastards — just like in a supermarket. Therefore, you don’t have to think: I’ll come to church, and the angels will meet me there! You will be treated as rudely as in the bakery, don’t be upset, you will feel at home here. Both on the street and in the church, everything is the same as in the square. Because the Lord drives all the fish into this net. For what? So that the fish here in the church, under the influence of the word of God, is transformed, so that a transformation happens to it, so that it becomes good from a bad fish, that is, so that it is prepared in this way for the Kingdom of Heaven. But it is clear that this is not automatic. You don’t have to think that you will go to church carefully and salvation will come. No, nothing like that. Only daily personal work — in order to achieve the Kingdom of Heaven.» Earth
