Do not be ashamed to enter again into the Church. Be ashamed when you
sin. Do not be ashamed when you repent. Pay attention to what the devil did to
you. These are two things: sin and repentance. Sin is a wound; repentance is a
medicine. Just as there are for the body wounds and medicines, so for the soul
are sins and repentance. However, sin has the shame and repentance possesses
the courage.
Saint John Chrysostom
