“The lives of the fathers show us how many of them attain holiness with facility and ease, without great labors and sacrifices, or ascetic struggles, because they practice obedience. Obedience is humility in practice and God “giveth grace unto the humble.” (Elder Ephraim of Katounakia ~ ‘Obedience is Life’) [Obedience; Sanctification]
