Lessons by our Holy Fathers
It is by the ascesis of faith that the treatment and cure of a soul which is sick with the passions is begun.
Once faith begins to live in a man, the passions begin to be uprooted from his soul.
But “until the soul becomes intoxicated with faith in God, until it comes to feel faith’s power,” it can neither be healed of the passions nor overcome the material world
St Justin Popovich
