Archbishop Nikon (Rozhdestvensky)
A double-edged sword. St. Petersburg, 1995, 320 p.
The Lord loves our Orthodox Russia, which was once called holy for a reason, and now sins so much and grievously before God, loves and lovingly punishes, and has mercy on us, and in the very punishment He shows the way to deliverance. Only be, Russian people, attentive to the inscrutable ways of God's providence, and you will clearly see in them the finger of God, showing you where and in what to seek salvation in your native country," wrote Archbishop Nikon (Rozhdestvensky) in 1913.
