"But because of God's compassion upon you, he does not show you your shame and nakedness all at once, lest your sould be swallowed up in grief. He but unveils to you bit by bit pages of the lawsuits of your fornication, your haughtiness, your wrath, your rebellion, your theft, your calumny, your envy, and your jealousy. He shows you that they all stand against you still, but in suspension, sealed with the blood of Christ and waiting for an honest repentance and a holy covenant.
--Matthew The Poor, Orthodox Prayer Life: The Interior Way
