Stavrophila: I am surprised and at a loss how this trouble could enter my heart again, for today I do not seek glory for myself(John 8:30), and I am ready to speak with the Prophet: let them be turned back in shame that say unto me: well done, well done (Ps 39:21). ...
Stavrophila is on the road bearing her cross and she come to some people who cheer her on. She is lifted up by the praise.
We put away glory seeking, then the praise of men come in, we then fall back into glory seeking or we have to put it away again. Lord have mercy on us!
