... men... who say that there is no one in our times and in our midst who is able to keep the Gospel commandments and become like the holy Fathers?

Woe to you, blind guides of the blind (Mt. 23:16), because you do not enter into the kingdom, and you hinder those who wish to enter' (Mt. 23:13).

Everest is regarded as one of, if not the most challenging of human conquests.

In everything God seems to be balanced.
