Repentance and Humility

Repentance and humility are more important and higher than all of the other virtues, continuing until the end of our life. Referring to the words of the Prophet David, Saint John Climacus writes, "I did not fast, I did not keep vigil, I did not sleep on the bare earth, but I humbled myself and the Lord saved me."

           Elder Ambrose of Optina
