Orthodox Quote for December 10
“But mark, my son, only the good deed done for Christ’s sake brings us the fruits of the Holy Spirit. All that is not done for Christ’s sake, even though it be good, brings neither reward in the future life nor the grace of God in this. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ said: ‘He who gathers not with Me scatters’.”
(St. Seraphim of Sarov in ‘Conversation with Motovilov’)
