Elder Hilarion of Sarov and Valaam on Humility

"Faith and love which are gifts of the Holy Spirit are such great and powerful means that a person who has them can easily, and with joy and consolation, go the way Jesus Christ went. Besides this, the Holy Spirit gives man the power to resist the delusions of the world so that although he makes use of earthly good, yet he uses them as a temporary visitor, without attaching his heart to them. But a man who has not got the Holy Spirit, despite all his learning and prudence, is always more or less a slave and worshipper of the world. "

- St. Innocent of Alaska, Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of Heaven.

"There is yet another reason that may cause our prayer to go unanswered: namely, that though we pray we yet continue in sin."
