A wound that shows itself, heals itself.

When a person is honest, he is true, and that is the place where the Holy Spirit dwells.

Such a person, even though he has many sins in him, has a much better chance to progress in his spiritual life and to be purified, because he does not hide, does not pretend, does not calculate, because he openly and calmly shows his deviation from God's law and God cleanses him - sometimes directly, and sometimes through people. In any case, a wound that shows itself, heals itself.

St Justin the New (Popovich)
