Your knees won’t bend

Words of Life - 26 July 2017
 Saint Nicholas Velimirovich

Pride of the intellect sent Satan to Hell. Pride of the intellect separated Adam and Eve from God, and impelled the Scribes and Pharisees to kill Christ. Pride of the intellect is the most fertile ground for the cultivation of sin that we’ve ever known. Unless our intellect kneels before Christ, we’ll never physically get down on our knees. If you’ve begun to calm your intellect through repentance, you’ve already begun to cure your deeper wounds as well.
