Priest of the Kronstadt St. Andrew's Cathedral Ioann Sergeev. September 14, 1873.

Sixth grade examination in worship; They didn’t answer very well; very good in history. For worship, we need to teach more practically: give questions more often so that they answer. (Without faith and love one cannot begin communion, therefore everyone is called upon to testify to their faith and love by reading the Creed and kissing love.)
He died for everyone and everything and is alive for the one Lord - wake up. June 2, 1874
[...], and passion will submit to the will of God.
