“ Our heart is like a lamp that is made to be lit with this immaterial Light of God’s presence. So often we blow out this lamp and its light by a careless word, a thought, “well, does this really matter?” or by being unkind to those close to us. We must remember that the most grace proceeds from neighborly love…”
(Archimandrite Sergius of St Tikhon’s Monastery, Pentecost letter)
