Lessons by our Holy Fathers
Now we stand up and fall (in faith and virtue), but we hope for a time and condition when we shall no longer be able to fall, when we shall reach such a state of perfect safety from falling, as the angels have attained to, who are now inaccessible to evil, and when we shall become strengthened in holiness.
In the meantime fight against sin, and hope that the time will at last come of perfect victory over sin and over death, which is its offspring.
