“Just as the earth in the spring is washed by the rain, warmed by the sun, and becomes covered with greenery and flowers, so you, beloved, wash your soul with tears of repentance, and warm it with the rays of God’s grace and feelings and intentions, which will indeed bring forth in you the fruit of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, long-suffering, meekness, and faith.”
(St Tikhon of Moscow, 1901 booklet)
