Lessons by our Holy Fathers
Should you be sorrowful over your sins, or be moved, or shed a tear, or sigh, your sighing will not be hidden from Him.
St. Simeon tells us: "Nothing is hidden from Thee, my God, my Creator, my Redeemer, neither a teardrop, nor a part of a drop." St. John Chrysostom states: "If you only lament over your sins, He will take it as a reason for your salvation."
Venerable Elder Moses of Optina
