На земле же воистину мы как бы блуждаем, и не было бы драгоценного Христова образа пред нами, то погибли бы мы и заблудились совсем, как род человеческий пред потопом.
On earth, indeed, we are as it were astray, and if it were not for the precious image of Christ before us, we should be undone and altogether lost, as was the human race before the flood.
