The Lord awaits (Elder Efsevios Yannakakis)

Whether you live for five years or a hundred and five is of no consequence. What matters is the health of the soul. Good for those, who, in a case of illness face it with repentance! Whether they live or not, they’ll be ready. The Lord’s waiting. He’s waiting at Jacob’s well for every soul, no matter how sinful it is. He’s waiting to empty into the confessional the murky water of the soul and to fill it with clear water, so that it won’t be thirsty in the life eternal.
