Venerable #Sophian of Antim, a spiritual father known for his wisdom and humility, once faced a distraught woman who confessed a grave sin. Instead of condemnation, he offered her understanding and guided her towards repentance with gentle words and fervent prayer. He taught her that true repentance is not merely regret but a turning away from sin and towards Christ. Through his compassion, she found the strength to confess and begin a new life in faith.
