Consider whom He calls: those who have spent their resources in transgressions, those who are burdened by sins, those who can no longer stand upright, those filled with shame, those who have no boldness. And for what purpose does He call them? Not to demand an account or to sit in judgment. But what? To grant rest from their toil, to remove the heavy burden.—St. John Chrysostom, On the Newly Illumined
