Christ Alone is the Way – Henry Gregory Adams

I was told that by becoming a monk and priest, I could avoid sin and be more certain of my salvation. Because I was sincerely seeking salvation, I entered the Bacillin Order of monks, received the long black robe and an adopted monastic name of “Saint Hilarion the Great,” and made my vows. What great relief and heavenly peace came into my soul when Christ found me, a lost sinner!
