The soul is indeed noble, for she has received her nobility from the Lord Himself, Who, loving her, bestowed nobility on her. And we must preserve it; and we preserve it by means of that same nobility which the Lord gave the soul. When He appeared to His disciples after the Resurrection and began to speak to the Apostle Peter, He did not rebuke him but asked him gently, ‘Lovest thou me?’ These tender words of the Lord, full of fatherly love, teach us to act likewise when anyone wounds us. Herein lies Christ-like nobility, which passes man’s understanding and is known only through the Holy Spirit.
