Repentance is often abandoned because of the discomfort it can bring, but the saints remind us of the reality of Christ's peace for which we must strive.

Good morning Father I do not judge but you know United States the devil horn inside the churches and the demon jumping on the stage preaching the lies 🔥 so I repeat them You know father we are living in the last days you have a blessed day 🙏
Forgiving those around us works for the average everyday disgruntlements of life, but you should not forgive everything. Some things are beyond forgiveness, like genocide. You can't resurrect every dead person to be able to have them accept the apology of their persecutors. The time for forgiveness was lost. You can only pray for God to heal those who remain, and to have mercy on the descendants of genocidal regimes. Saying you forgive a culture or nation that doesn't repent or admit its failings stops them from reflecting on their behavior, and allows them into deeper depravities. Turkey did not face consequence for their multiple genocides, and today continues persecution and depravity. Forgiving the unrepentant is casting pearls before swine. But should they come in contrition, even the most famous saints were at first cruel persecutors who found salvation.
Everyday I realise more and more how deeply my pride is rooted. I’m shocked by my own thoughts, many times I wouldn’t even notice my thoughts and would be thinking the worst of other people. Since Jesus Christ came into my life I become more aware of this thoughts and I want to repent.
Then repent with your whole heart with tears and if you fall get back up for the fight Your soul is at risk just like all of our souls Forgiveness is the most beautiful divine thing and not judging anyone is up there I know it’s hard , I regularly fall in both accounts but ya gotta fight the fight my friend Be well
Thank you for sharing, the scale of purity and goodness increases as we behold more of the revelation of Christ, and with that happening we start to see true goodness defined…. And we see we are far from it….. amen, He is certainly working in you, and the battle is to not look at all the mess, but keep your eyes locked on Jesus and abide in Him and He will transform You!!! Bless you and may you be encouraged that He opened your eyes to Truth!!
We will always judge according to the flesh when we are operating from the carnal. But if the Life of Christ gains ground in us, we will see people through His eyes and not the old Adam. The old Adam will never be able to not judge or judge correctly (for a spiritual man judges all things, says the Bible, which is simply discernment I think) but the only possible way we can see things rightly and accurately is if we die to our carnal mind and submit and obey the Holy Spirit and see thru His eyes
@@chartreusecat6642 Everyday I cast my eyes away from my brothers and sisters on this earth in fear of slipping into judgement. May God have mercy on me, a sinner.
I’ve been trying to turn my life back to Christ in the Church. I had my life turned very strongly toward Christ and let the devil in. I started getting into worldly romantic relationships and put Christ on the back burner. My soul was left scattered and without the ability to feel anything. The greatest feeling and experience is not worldly love, but the grace of the All Holy Trinity. Pray for me
Worldly romantic relationships are with intercourse and without marriage. They are empty of true love. Which is sinful. It is fornication and prideful. A relationship with Christ (God) is spiritual and loving. It is not wanting to offend God because of many reasons. Especially to live with Christ in eternity in heaven.

You would not believe how much I needed this. I won't even share the depths of my despair. This video was like a lifeline to me right now. Thank you. Prayers to all who are in similar pain and may you have the strength to continue onward.
“Tear from your hearts the roots of your passions.” Wow that’s it right there. I want God to use weed killer and just gently take my passions out with no suffering and that’s just not how it works.
My mother taught me that people are act in a cruel way are coming from a broken and hurt core and to feel empathy for them, not anger. When people verbally strike out I try not to respond because they are eager for a confrontation and I would be falling into their trap if I respond to their rage.
That analogy of the sick in hospital was very striking. Pray for me, father. I live in a small village in India. There's no Orthodox Church here, nor in our district. May God help me embrace Orthodoxy. My real name is Tapan.
God bless you Tapan. If you search for your nearest Orthodox diocese, they may have Liturgies served near you even where there is no permanent church. Some priests visit areas beyond their parishes.

the analogy with the hospital ward is excellent. it made me realize just how messed up is to judge other sinners, same as it is messed up to judge people lying in hospital beds out of sickness. thank you Father
I am so thankful for this message today Father Spyridon. I am a sinner, I let pride get in the way all the time. Have Mercy on me Jesus, a sinner. Help me become more humble and loving even to those who wrong me. I repent of my ways, my sins, my fears, my anger and disappointments of others. Make me strong in your word Lord through the Holy Spirit guide me in correcting my ways and finding peace with the people around me. 🙏 Amen

I never knew it'd hurt so much. So many in the Swedish Church don't teach proper repentance. I always asked myself at the very start of my walk with God that "how come no one seem to talk about this? talk about the PAIN!?". Sometimes it is so painful it feels impossible to bear. But then the Lords words echo in me "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
Just as the cleansing words of repentance were pouring out of your mouth so did the cleansing rain from the heavens.... What a beautiful scene!!! Thank you father Spyridon. The unworthy from Las Vegas.
The more harshly I judge the culture I live in, the colder my heart has grown. My disgust for my neighbor must be converted into love and zeal to preach Gospel.
Thank you for the kind words. I got very sad 2-3 days ago when a friend started from a sudden to curse on me and tell me that I am stupid, idiot, a complete morron to read religious stuff and for going to church. I just didn't understand for the moment...I didn't tell him a thing about the church, or christianity yet didn't understand why he put a target on me. But, after 2-3 days later I reflected upon the event and got very joyful because I actually had PATIENCE with him! In the past, if someone would say anything bad to me, I'd prepare the punch. Now, I was only....sad but calm. Thank you for your words, Greetings from Romania! May God Bless you!
made me realize how guarded I am myself. Never really thought of it like that. Thinking of others to such a degree that I’m pretty worthless so why should i receive kindness. While others suffer more. Didn’t realize how closed off it made me until this video
I have been scrolling past this video and always put on my watch later list. But today I'm thankful I had the courage and curiosity to finally watch it. My parents pretty much disown me because I've embarrassed them in the past. Now I'm on this path of forgiveness. I don't deserve forgiveness. But my parents do. I'm a well known pot head in Gallup NM. No ambition just always about myself. Thank you father and Jesus for this man. Your voice is comforting. That's one of your gifts from God. I'm going to forgive myself and my parents for hurting me. Even if they don't forgive me. I love them soo much and miss them. Jesus hear me and bless this man and bless my mom and dad and also my entire family. Love you all and God bless you all in his great name Amen
It’s understandable that you feel betrayed by your parents. Your parents are the only two beings on Earth that should love you unconditionally. Your worth doesn’t come from your occupation or lack thereof. Ambition is as much a vice as it is to be slothful. I’m sure your parents would be overjoyed to accept you again if you tried to become a better man by taking responsibility for your own life. Just like your parents, God only wants the best for you, and sometimes that means taking action so we may bring positive changes into our lives. God bless. 🙏

When i fast for 6 months last time It was the most hard experience in my Life I carried an invisible Jesus Christ Cross on my back was heavy as a mountain and one time in my room the room light was obscure and i looked at my shadow and i like saw a big cross behind my back in the form of the shadow And my evil part of my self (evil spirits) went out i even had a wake at night so called night paralyses when you wake up and can't move youre body and when it happened i did it intentionally because when i was sleeping i felt door room someone staring at me how i sleep and i wake and turned my had to the opened door room and i saw like a undistinguished from darkness a big black figure in the darkness of the room staring at me constantly and i thinking who is that and i fought it's a evil Spirit and he's not afraid of me and all that in 15seconds i watched in it's eyes and all i felt from him is the biggest felling of hate and he's desire to destroy me into million pieces cut me and slaughter me an eternity and fear took me for 2-5seconds and i sad to my self God take him from me please because i can't get up to to force him by my self because of that night paralysis and suddenly he's Black head pulled and looked up and he screamed like criuuuuueaeaeaeahhhh and i was like what the heck is going on and put my head down to the pillow and thinked thank you God and sad to God that was a terrible experience and please don't make it repeated again protect me from the evil ones and that this fasting for Jesus Christ was one of most strange experience not to mention other experiences i had one day in my chest in my soul whole day was fire it was like in my chest my soul whole day was a burning fire whole day it discomforted me and i done phisical exercises like pushups as i understand the Holly spirit visited me these are the feelings of the visitation in you're soul of the holly Spirit youre soul inside burns in you he's sacred fire burns all you're sins as a part of my repentance for the name of the God And voice of the holly spirit or my guarding angel told me incredible things l and sad for youre knowing i tell you that you must be special to God because he multiple mine Guarding Angels to the number of 10 and not many people in this world has that big number of Angels and that is gaven me by God for my protection from the evil ones as i understand the evil spirits And from that day on i knew everything is right You cannot run away from you're Faith Because God is within me and i am within him And i saw a dream vision when i was sober that Russia is the Lion the beast from the book of Daniel and second dream vision sober was a garden were the man stood beside a fig tree and he was wearing white robe i stood near him and it was like a movie when you're watching you don't control youre sight what you see but the camera controls the image what you see and he took my hand and move it to the branch of the fig tree and showed me with he's second hand like look you see the leaves of the fig tree are flowering they are 4 petals 4 kingdoms of the prophecy of the book of Daniel it's time of the End time Amen
Praying for our dear Eliza Fletcher and her husband. She ran her race well and she's safe in our Lord's kingdom. As we are living witnesses to the truth to Christ Jesus and our REDEMPTION knowing we'll see her smile once again for running the race and crossing the finish line. God Bless Eliza and others that run side by side. Amen.
When I went into repentance, it was so painful I called the police on myself, they came I begged them to put in a cell so I could rott, I told them I needed it, they thought I was depressed and I got sectioned. I looked in the mirror and saw myself, in terms of the world my sin don't seem that bad, but for my soul and mind to have felt the shock of it, it was bad! my conscious nearly killed me, purging from sin I was literally heaving with invisible vomit. I spent 2 weeks screaming. Then i felt cleaned out. No body understands, i feel joyfully sad, i try not to think of jesus because i will just brake down in joyful tears no matter where i am.
May God bless you with health & age. May God be glorified for giving us such great spiritual fathers/teachers on this time! Father may God help you in all your ways, to keep this good work of delivering spiritual life lessons from bible & teaching of spiritual fathers. Following your teachings from Eritrea🇪🇷
For me, it is sexual sin, one I've been struggling with all of my life It is rooted deep within me, and it's been a long, long battle Jesus is Faithful
Father I've just realized a great folley in myself, I must continue to remind myself to struggle against my passion and pride. I don't know much of the nature of the Holy Spirit, but i feel like I've been touched by it. Thanks for your words Father
It's hardest to not get defensive when someone calls you out on something you have done or haven't done, but we must allow ourselves to be crucified for our own peace...
Blessings Father. Can you pray for me? My name is Pablo A and this video made me realize I am more sick with sin than I realize. Thank you for all your work.
Father Spyridon was recently targeted by Jacksmack77. Certainly it is with God's grace you were able to catch yourself in sin before becoming the same, and aren't a swine with pearls.
I’m a Catholic who just stumbled across this channel, and I’m glad that this was the video that introduced me. A very profound message, but truly wonderful counsel! Thank you for your message, Father! May God bless you!
Saint John 12:25-27 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me. “I am troubled now. Yet what should I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.
Great message. This is probably the most difficulty any believer has. Knowing our sins. Repenting from them. But the pain of the change we must go through
Where there is pain, there is opportunity. So often we have these gifts that seem like nightmares to our ego, in reality they can help us more than we ever thought possible. Seek out repentance, seek out growth, give away the thing which you believe you could never give up..
God bless you Father. Your videos have brought me much peace and understanding, as I hope to enter the Orthodox fold as a Roman Catholic. Pray for my conversion, please.
Feeling a lot of appreciation at this time for your words Father. Even our Orthodox specialist (psychiatric neurogist) says not to argue with a delusional person--even one mildly deluded. Do not speak agreement, but just allow them their delusion without arguing even for the sake of arriving at truth. No. Just do not show agreement. But listen. Listen.
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner, once was lost but now I'm found. Your grace and love has brought me back to you a third time and I will not walk away again.
It’s hard-really hard, more for some than others. Keep working at it. Don’t give up. Look at Jesus hanging on a cross. Keep focused on Him. Jesus Christ loves you and always wants the best for each one of us.
This message is so right on. I’ve been watching you for quite awhile Father. This message hit dead on. Thank you Jesus. May God truly bless you Father Spiridon. 🛐☦️🙏🏻❤️♥️
I feel like I can’t escape from how much judgment and hate i am I feel like I can’t change the way I think ,I’m judgmental I struggle with anger and forgiveness , it’s hard to forgive the people that have hurt me a lot
Beautiful with the rain Father. I am so glad I listened to you this morning before mass, it is a wonderful blessed remedy to my soul. I experienced three very upsetting angry outbursts with family members last week which shook me to my very core, as I have ‘prided’ myself with recent victories over sin and a renewed prayer life. Thank you for your holy direction. I think I now understand how the necessity for repentance reveals itself. Deo Gratias 🙏🏻
In German we say a little ryhme when it's raining. We say: "Regen bringt Segen" In English: "Rain brings blessing" So that's actually not bad at all :)
@@mrspencer9999 Perhaps God has made the rainsounds in the video to give us remembrance to him, at least that is what I think a devout person could think.
Repentance and walking in The Light of The Lord Jesus Christ is a beautiful and wonderful journey to be conformed to The Image of The Lord Jesus. It is amazing what The Lord Jesus can accomplish in us while He refines our faith - our faith is precious to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is The Author and Finisher of our faith. (The Lord Jesus is The Pioneer and The Perfecter of our faith). The Lord Jesus said: - Unless you repent you too will all perish. - Neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin. - See you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you. - Whoever does not take up their cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. - Why call Me Lord, Lord and do not practice what I say - Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves, take up their cross daily and follow Me.
I am feeling this right now and it feels like a sword going through my heart. It's like I have to let go and allow the pain to pierce my heart. Yes. exactly, I had a person call me out on my sin and even though I resented him at first. I knew he was right. He changed me and put me back on the right path. When Jesus talks about turning your check 77x7 does that mean to accept abuse? I have a lot of trouble understanding this.

Love Forgive Mercy Humble
Thank you Father Spyridon, we appreciate your videos, infact all you are doing for us. The rain to me is a blessing!
God have mercy on me. I have sinned yet again. A habitual sinner
When i fast for 6 months last time
It was the most hard experience in my Life
I carried an invisible Jesus Christ Cross on my back was heavy as a mountain and one time in my room the room light was obscure and i looked at my shadow and i like saw a big cross behind my back in the form of the shadow
And my evil part of my self (evil spirits) went out i even had a wake at night so called night paralyses when you wake up and can't move youre body and when it happened i did it intentionally because when i was sleeping i felt door room someone staring at me how i sleep and i wake and turned my had to the opened door room and i saw like a undistinguished from darkness a big black figure in the darkness of the room staring at me constantly and i thinking who is that and i fought it's a evil Spirit and he's not afraid of me and all that in 15seconds i watched in it's eyes and all i felt from him is the biggest felling of hate and he's desire to destroy me into million pieces cut me and slaughter me an eternity and fear took me for 2-5seconds and i sad to my self God take him from me please because i can't get up to to force him by my self because of that night paralysis and suddenly he's Black head pulled and looked up and he screamed like criuuuuueaeaeaeahhhh and i was like what the heck is going on and put my head down to the pillow and thinked thank you God and sad to God that was a terrible experience and please don't make it repeated again protect me from the evil ones and that this fasting for Jesus Christ was one of most strange experience not to mention other experiences i had one day in my chest in my soul whole day was fire it was like in my chest my soul whole day was a burning fire whole day it discomforted me and i done phisical exercises like pushups as i understand the Holly spirit visited me these are the feelings of the visitation in you're soul of the holly Spirit youre soul inside burns in you he's sacred fire burns all you're sins as a part of my repentance for the name of the God
And voice of the holly spirit or my guarding angel told me incredible things l and sad for youre knowing i tell you that you must be special to God because he multiple mine Guarding Angels to the number of 10 and not many people in this world has that big number of Angels and that is gaven me by God for my protection from the evil ones as i understand the evil spirits
And from that day on i knew everything is right
You cannot run away from you're Faith
Because God is within me and i am within him
And i saw a dream vision when i was sober that Russia is the Lion the beast from the book of Daniel and second dream vision sober was a garden were the man stood beside a fig tree and he was wearing white robe i stood near him and it was like a movie when you're watching you don't control youre sight what you see but the camera controls the image what you see and he took my hand and move it to the branch of the fig tree and showed me with he's second hand like look you see the leaves of the fig tree are flowering they are 4 petals 4 kingdoms of the prophecy of the book of Daniel it's time of the End time
Amen
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner.
I 💗 the sound of the rain.
Praying for our dear Eliza Fletcher and her husband. She ran her race well and she's safe in our Lord's kingdom. As we are living witnesses to the truth to Christ Jesus and our REDEMPTION knowing we'll see her smile once again for running the race and crossing the finish line. God Bless Eliza and others that run side by side. Amen.
Heart broken about Eliza - Memory eternal
Memory eternal, may she rest in peace.
Thank you Father you have spoken to my heart this morning. I love your beautiful teachings. Its a Blessing to have you Father.
Thank God for your wonderful teachings, Fr. Spyridon.
Peace for all
When I went into repentance, it was so painful I called the police on myself, they came I begged them to put in a cell so I could rott, I told them I needed it, they thought I was depressed and I got sectioned. I looked in the mirror and saw myself, in terms of the world my sin don't seem that bad, but for my soul and mind to have felt the shock of it, it was bad! my conscious nearly killed me, purging from sin I was literally heaving with invisible vomit. I spent 2 weeks screaming. Then i felt cleaned out. No body understands, i feel joyfully sad, i try not to think of jesus because i will just brake down in joyful tears no matter where i am.
May God bless you with health & age. May God be glorified for giving us such great spiritual fathers/teachers on this time! Father may God help you in all your ways, to keep this good work of delivering spiritual life lessons from bible & teaching of spiritual fathers. Following your teachings from Eritrea🇪🇷
So interesting how connected the world is today.
For me, it is sexual sin, one I've been struggling with all of my life
It is rooted deep within me, and it's been a long, long battle
Jesus is Faithful
Father I've just realized a great folley in myself, I must continue to remind myself to struggle against my passion and pride. I don't know much of the nature of the Holy Spirit, but i feel like I've been touched by it. Thanks for your words Father
It's hardest to not get defensive when someone calls you out on something you have done or haven't done,
but we must allow ourselves to be crucified for our own peace...
Thank you for being a light in a world of darkness
So rend me your heart , not your garments -Joel 2:13
Blessings Father. Can you pray for me? My name is Pablo A and this video made me realize I am more sick with sin than I realize. Thank you for all your work.
This realisation is truly a blessing, we are all blind to some extent to the true depth of our sin. God bless you.
Father Spyridon was recently targeted by Jacksmack77. Certainly it is with God's grace you were able to catch yourself in sin before becoming the same, and aren't a swine with pearls.
May God bless you Fr. Spyridon with His grace in all things
Awesome sermon, Father…thank you so much!,
I really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Father…your words are medicine.
Medicine

I’m a Catholic who just stumbled across this channel, and I’m glad that this was the video that introduced me. A very profound message, but truly wonderful counsel! Thank you for your message, Father! May God bless you!
Saint John 12:25-27
Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.
Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.
“I am troubled now. Yet what should I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.
"Will we be prepared to be judged, with the same judgment that we apply to other people? Or will we seek mercy, then we must show mercy, show love."
i love the rain....
Thank you Father Spyridon.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Father, your videos are a great blessing 🙏
Amin
Thank you father I needed this. God bless you.
Thankyou Fr. Spyridon. I used to judge you as a priest as I have that tendency often. But I'm trying to get better.
Great message. This is probably the most difficulty any believer has. Knowing our sins. Repenting from them. But the pain of the change we must go through
Where there is pain, there is opportunity. So often we have these gifts that seem like nightmares to our ego, in reality they can help us more than we ever thought possible.
Seek out repentance, seek out growth, give away the thing which you believe you could never give up..
What a blessing to come across this video. Truly, I needed your words. How perfect the Lord's timing is. Thank you, Father. May God be with you ☺
Much appreciated wisdom....
You are awesome Father, I'm so glad I found you.
God bless you Father. Your videos have brought me much peace and understanding, as I hope to enter the Orthodox fold as a Roman Catholic. Pray for my conversion, please.
From the bottom of my heart thank you father you are such a wise man it is amazig i noted down everything from this video
Feeling a lot of appreciation at this time for your words Father. Even our Orthodox specialist (psychiatric neurogist) says not to argue with a delusional person--even one mildly deluded. Do not speak agreement, but just allow them their delusion without arguing even for the sake of arriving at truth. No. Just do not show agreement. But listen. Listen.
Thank you for this message
I thank Our Lord Jesus Christ for your services
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner, once was lost but now I'm found. Your grace and love has brought me back to you a third time and I will not walk away again.
Thank you Fr.Spyridon for leading us on the path to eternal Salvation
It’s hard-really hard, more for some than others. Keep working at it. Don’t give up. Look at Jesus hanging on a cross. Keep focused on Him. Jesus Christ loves you and always wants the best for each one of us.
This message is so right on. I’ve been watching you for quite awhile Father. This message hit dead on. Thank you Jesus. May God truly bless you Father Spiridon. 🛐☦️🙏🏻❤️♥️
Father your messages had an amazing impact on my Faith, Thank You and Bless you 🙏🐬🕊️☮️🦋💖🌍✨
Beautiful video. That root can run so deep father.
Beautifull forest

I feel like I can’t escape from how much judgment and hate i am I feel like I can’t change the way I think ,I’m judgmental I struggle with anger and forgiveness , it’s hard to forgive the people that have hurt me a lot
Thank you Father, your wisdom brings me peace to acknowledge my sins and strength to seek forgiveness.
Thank you Father
God bless you!
Love listening to true wisdom. Thank you
Beautiful with the rain Father. I am so glad I listened to you this morning before mass, it is a wonderful blessed remedy to my soul. I experienced three very upsetting angry outbursts with family members last week which shook me to my very core, as I have ‘prided’ myself with recent victories over sin and a renewed prayer life. Thank you for your holy direction. I think I now understand how the necessity for repentance reveals itself. Deo Gratias 🙏🏻
In German we say a little ryhme when it's raining.
We say: "Regen bringt Segen"
In English: "Rain brings blessing"
So that's actually not bad at all :)
I think it was just wind.
@@ultrasignificantfootnote3378 Father literally wrote here in the comments he apologizes for the rain sounds
@@mrspencer9999 Perhaps God has made the rainsounds in the video to give us remembrance to him, at least that is what I think a devout person could think.
@@mrspencer9999 Perhaps the saying "tears from heaven, would be appropiate "
@@ultrasignificantfootnote3378 true
Amen!
Amen
Just very thankful for these sermons. You are a great help to me and my family!
Thank you Father god bless you!
amazing video, extremely grateful.
Repentance and walking in The Light of The Lord Jesus Christ is a beautiful and wonderful journey to be conformed to The Image of The Lord Jesus. It is amazing what The Lord Jesus can accomplish in us while He refines our faith - our faith is precious to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ is The Author and Finisher of our faith. (The Lord Jesus is The Pioneer and The Perfecter of our faith).
The Lord Jesus said:
- Unless you repent you too will all perish.
- Neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin.
- See you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.
- Whoever does not take up their cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
- Why call Me Lord, Lord and do not practice what I say
- Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves, take up their cross daily and follow Me.
Very lovely. A good reminder.
I am feeling this right now and it feels like a sword going through my heart. It's like I have to let go and allow the pain to pierce my heart. Yes. exactly, I had a person call me out on my sin and even though I resented him at first. I knew he was right. He changed me and put me back on the right path. When Jesus talks about turning your check 77x7 does that mean to accept abuse? I have a lot of trouble understanding this.
