The Reverend Philaret was distinguished by his meekness in dealing with people. While talking, he listened to his interlocutor with patience and complacency, and then in a very gentle form explained the essence of the matter and led the erring person to the true path. He was always guided by a feeling of innate modesty, humility, severity towards himself, love and respect for man. In this book, Saint Philaret, in his characteristic manner, delicately and demandingly warns the reader against justifying the sinful and disastrous path of indifference and calls for trust in God's mercy through repentance.
