Wisdom from the Holy Fathers

“Both inner strife and the difficulty of an obedience of the heart cause a man to realize this own infirmities and the realization of one’s infirmities lead one to humility. St. Symeon the New Theologion eloquently expressed the importance of humilty for our salvation: “There are two sacrifices which God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ accepts and which induce Him to have mercy on any individual and on the world as a whole. One of these is our Lord Jesus Christ, God Incarnate Himself, and the other is the contrite and humble heart of every person who believes in Him.” A man does not have to give anything else in exchange for his soul except the realization that he himself is nothing. Only then is he able to offer up to God a contrite and humble heart, the only only sacrifice which is fitting for a pious individual to offer up to God.   ~ Blessed  Archbishop Theophan of Poltava, spiritual father to St. Ioasaph of Edmtonon & Buenos Aires.
