How can one laugh at a clergyman?
So what if he serves poorly?
He still has grace. He is ordained.
One must not, must not, laugh!

Do not give in to evil ( St. Anatoly of Optina )
“Are you fighting against your passions? Fight, fight, and be good soldiers of Christ!
Do not give in to evil and do not be carried away by the weakness of the flesh.
During the time of temptation, flee to the Physician, crying out with the Holy Church, our mother: “O God, number me with the thief, the harlot, and the publican (i.e., with the repentant), and save me!”
St. Anatoly of Optina
