For the sake of our salvation, the incarnate Son of God did not deign to live on earth in the house of the rich and glorious, but was born in a wretched den and raised in the house of a simple woodcutter. Having entered a monastery, for the sake of receiving salvation, through the forgiveness of our sins, how are we thinking?.. Is it not contrary to the image of the Son of God? For this sake, let us reproach ourselves and humble ourselves, and then we will find peace (2, part 3, p. 83).
