Humility is a Luminous Guide

Elder Ephraim of Philotheou, Mt Athos“May you love one another and not be embittered by reason of egotism. Humility is a sure guide; it does not allow the one who has it to strike against the reefs of carelessness and be crushed, but as a luminous guide it leads faultlessly to safety. “
-Elder Ephraim of Philotheou, Mount Athos, Counsels from the Holy Mountain
