Orthodox Quote for November 22
“Look, if you cause damage, and people reprimand you and you do not complain but rather are happy, saying, “Glory be to God, I needed that reprimand,” you have only half of the joy. But if you do not do any damage, and are unjustly reprimanded and you accept it with good thoughts, then you will have complete joy. I am not saying that you should seek unfair reprimands…but rather that you should accept injustice when it comes your way naturally, and be joyful in it.”
(Elder St Paisios of Mt Athos, ‘Spiritual Struggle’)
