Благодать
Machine translation from the original · Show original
Live as you live and where you have to, just don’t be discouraged and don’t be faint-hearted, waiting for what the Lord speaks about you. In the difficult situation in which the strangeness of others puts you, manage: do as you can, and let others do as they want. You don’t know what to answer when they say that we have been given grace. We undoubtedly believe that ... all Orthodox Christians were given the grace of God at baptism, but this grace acts and is revealed as we fulfill the commandments of God, the main one of which is humility. It is said: You will know them by their fruits (Matthew 7:16), and look at their fruits, especially your own, what they are like (2, part 1, p. 183).
