The greatest love of the Lord is His Cross. The cross is the sun of love. The cross and crucifixion are the basis of our faith, this is the basis of our life. If we do not sacrifice ourselves for others in our daily life, then our faith fades, our hope disappears, our love dies. To be believers, we must always try to sacrifice something for others, help others, bear their crosses. Question: Where do you need to start the feat of obedience? Answer: You need to start with confession from the age of seven, so that the confessor knows the soul of a person, his weaknesses, his illness, his character. Then it is easier for the confessor to give advice and guide. The Holy Fathers and ascetics of former times saw through the human soul, but one should not demand insight from people living in our time, breathing a poisoned atmosphere. Look for a confessor who is not perspicacious, but pious. Source:
