Do not trust your mind too much; thinking must be refined by suffering, or it will not stand the test of these cruel times. I do not believe that the “logical” ones will be with Christ and His Church in the days coming upon us; there will be too many “reasons” against it, and those who trust their own minds will talk themselves out of it.
Fr Seraphim Rose writing to Fr. Alexey Young (now Hieromonk Ambrose), dated October 18/31, 1972. Letters from Father Seraphim - Holy Trinity Church Supplies
