"On the day of resurrection and judgment all that we have done in the course of our life will stand at our side, to justify us; and, vice versa, all the bad will convict us if we have not repented in due fashion. Ugly deeds and unkind words can he wiped clean by tears of repentance, however odd logically impossible this may seem. The negative consequences to ourself of our sins are healed; the bad effects of our behaviour towards our neighbours are effaced; fullness of life is reconstructer by divine power - not, though, through the onesided intervention of God but always in conjunction with repentance and a right disposition, since God performs nothing with man without man's co-operation."

St. Sophrony of Essex
