Wisdom From Modern Orthodox Elders
“We need to regard all of the faithful as one and think that each one of them is Christ. We need to have such love for each individual that we are ready to sacrifice our very life for him. Because we ought never to say or think that any person is evil but rather to regard all as good. And if you see a brother troubled by passions do not hate him. Hate rather the passions that are assailing him… Love for your brother prepares you to love God more.”
(St Elder Porphyrios in ‘Wounded by Love’)
