That's what I wrote Father John of Kronstadt (Sergiev):
"The Orthodox Church superior to all non-Orthodox churches: first, his truth, his orthodoxy, to be met and conquered by the blood of the apostles, bishops, martyrs, saints and all the saints, and secondly, that the surest way leads to salvation (flat, straight and the right way), which clears the right way, sanctifies, renews through the hierarchy, worship, sacraments, fasts, and thirdly, that teaches the best way to please God and save his soul, the best guide to repentance, correction, prayer, thanksgiving, thanksgiving. - Where there are prayer, praise, thanksgiving and petition, a wonderful divine service, as in the Orthodox Church? Nowhere.
In our worship of the Orthodox Church, every believer is clear and attentive, and keenly felt the idea that all believers on earth - the pastors and congregation, and the sky St. Saints of God - from the Mother of God - the Church is united, united house of God, one body, whose head of the Lord Jesus Christ and the soul - the Holy Spirit himself, animated, enlightening, purifying and strengthening all lived on the land of the members of this great body. Outside the Church there is no salvation, no spirit of grace.
In the Church, expressed the spirit of God's love to people in the pastoral, in the homeland and sonship (spiritual fathers, children of the spiritual). Strictly necessary to keep this spirit of pastors and the flock, not us, shepherds, Pacem - and himself heavenly Father feedeth through us, we must remember his heavenly homeland, to which must strive to lead the faithful to whom should the church ministry. The Lord is my shepherd, and the void will deprive me (Psalm 22, 1).
Encompassing, neotpadayuscha love the Church, and the coffin care about us. Where is it in other non-Orthodox churches? Human weakness, blindness, limited, human passions are affected in the churches fallen away. Lutherans do not pray for the dead - Anglicans, too.
Ardent life-giving to pray to the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Holy helmsman. Church of Christ, but breathes the spirit of love into the hearts of all Christians and all light will illuminate to his, to know the truth of God and Christ, to the mutual connection, to reject all heresies and schisms, to the ruin of all parties, public, opposing each other.
When you begin to pray prayers to the Holy Spirit, know and remember that the Holy Spirit came into the world on the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ, and acts in the world, especially of those in His Church, and makes our salvation. The Holy Spirit makes all the sacraments, sanctifies, illuminates, strengthens, stimulates to prayer, produces in the hearts of tenderness, exudes tears of repentance, thanksgiving, praise, draws the soul, saves, gives life, erecting from spiritual death to life, gives peace, freedom of spirit, grace synopolozheniya, crying in the hearts of the faithful from the depths of the soul: Abba, Father! (Rom. 8, 15, Gal. 4, 6). That's why we start praying their prayers to the Holy Spirit. Glory to Thee, most holy soul, life, our Istochniche, ravnodetelny Father and the Word!
What a wonderful spiritual wealth of the Church, the richness of faith, hope and love, the riches of His goodness, mercy, wisdom of God, the wealth of wonders, cleansing of sins, sanctification, enlightenment, solace, peace, and
spiritual freedom ! Oh, if all the faithful and the infidels know and have known it, and remember - and hard flowed to the Church! "
