О добродетелях и смирении
Machine translation from the original · Show original
Saints, comparing their virtues with the infinite perfections of God, consider themselves to be nothing. What will we say, sinners? In order to become like God, we must fulfill His holy commandments, and if we look at it, it turns out that we have not truly fulfilled a single one. Let's go through them all, and it turns out that we barely touched on that commandment, perhaps we were just beginning the other one, and, for example, we didn’t even begin to touch on the commandment about love. What remains for us sinners? How to escape? The only way is through humility: “Lord, I am a sinner in everything, I have nothing good, I only hope in Your mercy!”
