I do not pin hope on my weak powers. I only put my hopes on the grace of God, given to the apostles on the day of Pentecost, which made them, the unwise and unbooks, the “wise fishers” of the universe. And the fact that I, a sinner and weak, are worthy of this great apostolic grace in the days of Pentecost, fills my soul with a special high spiritual joy and hope for the all-powerful help of God. Come to me, O Good Comforter, and cleanse me from all filth, sharing me with Thy holiness, and non-evening light, and Divine lives, and the most fragrant dispensing (canon 6 to the Holy Spirit). Holy Hierarchs of God! Calling on this fiery Spirit of grace onto my sinful head, pray the Lord, that it would burn out in me all sinful impurity, that it would sanctify and enlighten me, that it would instruct me in all truth and that it would make me worthy of this great and terrible, blessed and glorious service.
