Orthodox Quote for December 10
“‘Father, God then accepts the repentance of the sinner?’…”Tell me, my beloved, when you tear your uniform, do you throw it away?” “No,” the soldier answered, “I sew it and use it anew again.”
Then Abba Mios also thoughtfully told him: “If you take pity on your clothing, will not God take pity on His own creation?”
(Abba Mios in the Evergetinos)
