This is where the spirit of self-asserting human pride has led us, along with that 'new faith' that has been persistently propagandized among us in recent years in place of the Christian faith, this 'faith in oneself' and 'faith in one’s own god' rather than in the One True God."
"The spirit of Christ is the spirit of humility , the antithesis of the spirit of self-asserting human pride. 'Learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart' (Matt 11:29)—these words should be the life’ s motto of every Christian."
We begin the Great Fast with the command of our Saviour to forgive one another in order to receive from our Lord complete forgiveness of our sins. But this is only the beginning.
