“’Oh, how sinful I am! Oh, how weak I am! Oh, how much I have sinned — God will not forgive me!’ It’s just regret. To repent means to feel the heart of God in your heart, to realize how much God loves us, to purify your feelings and see Christ. And we see Christ to the extent that we purify ourselves. This is how we see God.”
(Protosinghel Galaction Dominte, from ‘Orthodox Romanian in France’)
