Wisdom from Modern Orthodox Elders
“When we love Christ all other loves abate. Other loves have a point of satiety. The love of Christ has no point of satiety. Fleshly love has a point of satiety. Thereafter jealousy and disgruntlement may set in and may even lead to murder. Love in Christ shows no alteration. Worldly love remains for a time and is gradually extinguished where as divine love continually grows and deepens. Every other kind of love can lead a person to despair.”
(Elder Porphyrios in ‘Wounded by Love’)
