The Passion for Distractions

“A strange illness has appeared in our days: the passion for distractions. Never before was there such a desire for distractions; people have forgotten how to lead a serious life for the good of others; they have no spiritual life and are bored. They exchange the profound content of a spiritual life for distractions! What madness! It is here that pastors must deploy their strength: they must reintroduce into life its lost meaning and give back to the people the knowledge of the true purpose of life.”
Saint John of Kronstadt
