John Climacus Quotes

A Characteristic Of Those Who Are Still Progressing In Blessed Mourning Is Temperance And Silence Of The Lips; And Of Those Who Have Made Progress - Freedom From Anger And Patient Endurance Of Injuries; And Of The Perfect - Humility, Thirst For Dishonors, Voluntary Craving For Involuntary Afflictions, Non- Condemnation Of Sinners, Compassion Even Beyond One's Strength. The First Are Acceptable, The Second Laudable; But Blessed Are Those Who Hunger For Hardship And Thirst For Dishonor, For They Shall Be Filled With The Food Whereof There Can Be No Satiety.
