    What happens is that the "lesser sins" are not left for you to be convicted by, but instead are given to you as lesser sins to overcome. And in overcoming the lessers, you gain virtue, and as you gain strength in virtue, you gradually become able to take on the greater temptations... Paul...

    When I first came into the Orthodox Faith as an enquirer, I was told I could pick a Saint - any icon that appealed to me... And to ask his or her help in anything that was bothering me... So I prayed to St John of Shanghai and San Francisco for helping my daughter in that city... Confessing...
