All people worship someone or something. One worships his “I” with his passions. The other - his knowledge. However, we are called to worship Christ.

Yes, definitely noted. I often find myself worshiping myself in a taxi after a shift - “I’m tired, I want to go home, leave me alone.” And at the liturgy on Sunday you suddenly remember Who you really stand for. Thank you for the simple words, sir.

Yes, Timofey, in a taxi after a shift it’s like this for everyone - their legs are buzzing, their heads are empty, just to get to the sofa. And at the liturgy, when they sing “Lord, have mercy,” you suddenly realize that fatigue is a trifle compared to the One in front of whom you stand. This happens to me too, especially if the day before I was busy in the garden until dark.
