When an Orthodox Christian ponders something, he does so prayerfully, with fear and trembling, since he knows that the choir of angels and the entire church participate mystically with him in his struggle. The Orthodox Christian does not belong only to himself, but to all the saints and, through them, to the holy Lord Jesus. When he examines his own spirit, the Orthodox Christian reflects: my spirit is nothing unless it is filled and perfected by the Holy Spirit.
