“Strong faith in a man’s heart both requires and produces prayer, and a prayer life of many years produces love. The goal of our life is nothing other than cleansing our heart, to such an extent that it is able to sing with joy. Thus, prayer of the heart leads to joy of the heart. Nothing is difficult for a joyful person, because he has love.”
-Elder Thaddeus of Serbia

Yes, faith, prayer, and love, are three aspects of the same power.

We started going to the Serbian church near us about 4 months ago and it’s small and feels like a family community, so many kind people.
