Better three bowing with humility than thousands – with arrogance. Only humility will save us! There are very few truly humble people. They must be looked for in the daytime with fire! – Hieromonk Tikhon (Golenkov)

It is only in our humility before Christ – the absolute expression of the humility of God – that we begin to understand who we are. Pride blinds us to reality. Arrogance fools us into false beliefs.

I am no God – as I screamed out to the world in the past.

In truth, I am barely a man.
