Progress in Perfection

Joseph of Thebes said, "Three things are seen to be honorable by God. The first is when temptations come on someone, who is weak, and are accepted thankfully. The second is when every action is pure before God, mixed with no human motive. The third is when a disciple remains obedient to a spiritual father, and gives up all his self will.
