Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"Jesus Christ lived in the midst of his enemies. At the end all his disciples deserted him. On the cross he was utterly alone, surrounded by evildoers and mockers. For this cause he had come, to bring peace to the enemies of God. So the Christian, too, belongs not in the seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes." -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer (b. 1906-02-04, d. 1945-04-09)

[I know Bonhoeffer was a Protestant, not Orthodox, but thos quotation still seemed not entirely out of place for Clean Monday.]
