St Peter of Damascus: Where is the contrition of soul and the deep inward grid?
Labels:
Lessons by our Holy Fathers
Where is the contrition of soul and the deep inward grid? Where is the gentleness, the generosity, the heart’s freedom from evil thoughts, the all-embracing self-control that restrains each member of the body and every thought and desire that is not indispensable for the soul’s salvation or for bodily life?
Where is the patience that endures so many tribulations for the sake of the kingdom of heaven? Where is the gratitude in all things? The ceaseless prayer?
