“As for myself poor soul…… I’m very weak. I haven’t managed to love Christ so very fervently and for my soul too long for Him I feel that I have a very long way to go. I haven’t arrived at where I want to be; I don’t experience this love. But I’m not discouraged. I trust in the love of God. I say to Christ: I know I’m not worthy. Send me whatever Your love wishes. That’s what I desire, that’s what I want. During my life I always worshiped you.”
(Elder St. Porphyrios ~ Wounded by Love)
