It can sometimes seem like our spiritual life is a constant see-saw between doing good, and falling into sin. But Archimandrite Sophrony gives us reason for hoping that we can overcome this problem:
While we are still in this life we shall often waver in our self-determining, hesitating whether to fulfill the commandments or give way to our passions. Gradually, as we struggle, the mystery of Christ will be revealed to us if we devote ourselves totally to obeying His precepts. The moment will come when heart and mind are so suffused by the vision of the infinite holiness and humility of the God-Christ that our whole being will rise in a surge of love for God.
