This is what we do with houses: we keep constantly repairing them as they wear old. You should do the same to yourself. Have you sinned today? Have you made your soul old? Do not despair, do not despond, but renew your soul by repentance and tears and Confession and by doing good things. And never cease doing this.
--St. John Chrysostom
