Gladdening Sorrow
The Ladder of Divine Ascent (source)
Keep a firm hold of the blessed
gladdening sorrow of holy compunction, and do not stop working at it
until it raises you high above the things of this world, and presents
you pure to Christ.
Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
