St. Maximos the Confessor: You should know that you have been greatly benefited . . .

Icon of St. Maximos the Confessor

“You should know that you have been greatly benefited when you have suffered deeply because of some insult or indignity; for by means of the indignity self-esteem has been driven out of you.”
