QUOTES FROM THE SAINTS
The righteous have no sorrows that are not turned into joy, as sinners have no joy that is not turned into sorrow.
(St. Dmitri of Rostov)
Humility and suffering free a man from all sin; for the first cuts out spiritual passions, and the latter bodily.
(St. Maximus the Confessor)
We suffer because we have no humility and we do not love our brother. From love of our brother comes the love of God. People do not learn humility, and because of their pride cannot receive the grace of the Holy Spirit, and therefore the whole world suffers.
(St. Silouan the Athonite)
