“Do all in your power not to fall, for the strong athlete should not fall. But if you do fall, get up again at once and continue the contest. Even if you fall a thousand times because of the withdrawal of God's grace, rise up again each time, and keep on doing so until the day of your death. For it is written, 'If a righteous man fall seven times' — that is, repeatedly throughout his life — 'seven times shall he rise again' (Proverbs 24:16).”    -  St. John of Karpathos
