“The Lord sometimes allows people who are devoted to Him to fall into such dreadful vices; and this is in order to prevent them from falling into a still greater sin–pride.
Your temptation will pass and you will spend the remaining days of your life in humility. Only do not forget your sin.”
— St. Seraphim of Sarov
