There is no need at all to make long discourses; it is enough to stretch out one's hand and say, “Lord, as you will, and as you know, have mercy.” And if the conflict grows fiercer say, “Lord help!” God knows very well what we need and He shows us His mercy.

This article by St. Mary (Skobtsova) of Paris represents an indictment of various types of pietism. After evaluating various modes of Russian piety, she states that poverty of soul — complete kenosis, self-giving, self-emptying love without regard for oneself — is the only valid path of ascetic identification with Christ. Everyone will find some conviction of himself in this article.
