Quotes on Orthodoxy / St. John Climacus

“Let us who are weak and passionate have the courage…”

Let us who are weak and passionate have the courage to offer our infirmity and natural weakness to Christ with unhesitating faith, and confess it to Him; and we shall be certain to obtain His help, even beyond our merit.

St. John Climacus (John of the Ladder)
