Do not be ashamed when corrected; rather, be humbled by listening. If you wish to leave from here with the treasury of the forgiveness of sins, do not hesitate. Instead, offer your soul, lamenting bitterly for what you have done, and confess to the Master that you will no longer be found in the same condition. From that moment on, rest assured that you have also received the gift of the forgiveness of sins, and do not despair of yourself any longer.—St. John Chrysostom, Homily on the Purification of Our Lord
