Pride does not allow the soul to set out on the path of faith. Here is
my advice to the unbeliever: let him say, “Lord, if you exist, then illumine
me, and I will serve you with all my heart and soul.” And for this humble
thought and readiness to serve God, the Lord will immediately illumine him… And
then your soul will sense the Lord; she will sense that the Lord has forgiven
her, and loves her, and you will know this from experience, and the grace of
the Holy Spirit will be a witness in your soul of your salvation, and you will
want to cry out to the whole world: “The Lord loves us so much!”
Saint Silouan the Athonite
