My dear ones, my God-given flock, love the Divine Liturgy; guard the fragrant rose of Christ, enlighten your souls with the light of the Divine sun. When you fail to attend the Divine Liturgy, count it as if you lost a day of your life. May there not be found in your midst Tolstoyites, Baptists, and Adventists, and the other sectarians and scoffers who deny the Holy Chalice. May your eyes ever behold the Holy Chalice, may your ears ever hear, “Take, eat” and “Take, drink.” Ever may you give thanks to the Lord for this most excellent gift, before which Angels tremble. “Praise ye the Name of the Lord; O ye servants, praise the Lord.”

— St. Seraphim ZvezdinskiPs. 134:1
