Holy Mysteries/Sacraments
The truth and saving
properties of our holy faith are clearly revealed by the fact that not a single
Sacrament, not a single faithful prayer are left fruitless in us, but they
bring and manifest their power from heaven upon our souls and bodies, cleansing
our sins, and giving peace to our souls in accordance with the words of our
Saviour: 'Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest' (Mt. 11:28); and delivering us from spiritual afflictions and bodily
sicknesses! No, we never pray in vain to the Lord, or to the most holy Virgin,
or to the angels and saints, but we receive all that we ask them for, and that
tends to our salvation. St. John of Kronstadt, My Life in Christ
