Elder Ephraim of Vatopedi
The purification of the heart from passions must become the main priority in a person's life. In this struggle, he does not try to conform to some externally moral life, but struggles in a Christ-centered way and thinking. and difficult, I say that it is pleasant and easy, but it requires two conditions: humility and love. If the grace of God comes, everyone and everything changes, but come on, for it to come, we first need to humble ourselves! All that is needed is for a person to love Christ and all problems are sorted out.
