Holy Chryssim is made up of olive oil mixed with balm, which represent among other things the two favorite and well-beloved virtues. Humility perfects us in relation to God and meekness in relation to our neighbor. But take care, my dear Philothea, that this mystical chryssim be rooted within your heart. For many people believe they are humble and meek, whereas in truth they are nothing of the kind.
