Holy Week, 2025, 3, Thursday: The Orthodox Church

[after Fyodor Tyutchev]


What ordinary human soul can fully grasp the Orthodox Church?

No solution to this yet exists, no matter how much you search.

The Church is the keeper of the fellowship of the Mystery;

she is the originator and patroness of spiritual poetry.

Your full comprehension will be delayed (and this is no surprise

despite what chattering skeptics glibly assert and surmise) 

until it is fully revealed by Christ to His Redeemed in His Paradise:

to His Orthodox People whom He has called into His Eternity.
