All the other capacities which we glimpse around the divine nature surpass the measure of human understanding, but lowliness is implanted within us and co-exists with those who come from below, are composed of earthly material and who return to the ground. You acquire the characteristics of bliss when you imitate God insofar as this is naturally possible. Let no-one think that humility is achieved easily and without effort. Quite the opposite. It’s the most exhausting of all the virtues we seek. And why is this?

Next to him, on the wall of his kelli, above the wood-stove, there were the remains of a monastery. The Elder felt indescribable joy and exultation and wondered who the saint was. Then ...
‘Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women’. (Acts 17, 4). When Paul preached in the synagogue in Thessaloniki, he was addressing the Jewish inhabitants of the city, in accordance with Christ’s instruction, which became standard practice for him: he would speak first to his co-religionists for whom he was especially concerned, judging by the epistles (Rom. 9-11). Thereafter he would turn his attention to the pagans.

But of the devout Greeks, that is those ...
