Dear Fr. Peter, I posted my explanation the same time as yours, but Im glad that the Confession at the end could be a useful example to give.

Hi Father Peter,
I think the accusation of that Russian priest that we have no good theologians, nor have produced any good theological pieces of work, is a bit uncalled for. Let me explain why:

Fr. Peter,

Thanks Everyone!!
I really appreciate that.
By the way, we all agree that we only work with the Divine Energies, not the Divine Essence. You agree??
These Divine Uncreated Energies IS the Grace of God that we receive through the Holy Sacraments…
