Alexander Schmemann

Alexander Dmitrievich Schmemann (13 September 1921 – 13 December 1983), was an influential Orthodox priest, theologian, and author. Quotes "The real human tragedy is living a noneucharistic life in a noneucharistic world." “The sacrament of matrimony is wider than family. It is the sacrament of divine love, as the all-embracing mystery of being itself, and it is for this reason that it concerns the whole Church, and – through the Church – the whole world."
