You aren't wrong. I ended up finding Christ and getting baptized. Perhaps my reading at that time was immature, but it was convincing to me then

3rd Sunday of Great Lent: Veneration of the Cross

Kontakion

Now the flaming sword no longer guards the gates of Eden; / it has mysteriously been quenched by the wood of the Cross! / The sting of death and the victory of hell have been vanquished; / for You, O my Savior, have come and cried to those in hell: / “Enter again into paradise.”

St. Eutychius, Patriarch of Constantinople

Kontakion

Let us all chant with faith and love, O people, / blessing the godly Eutychius as a great pastor and minister, / an all-wise teacher and expeller of heresies, / for he entreats the Lord on behalf of us all!
