Orthodox Quote for December 23
“How very careful we must be not to condemn! How very much we wrong our neighbor when we condemn him! Yet, in reality, we do not wrong others, but our own self with condemnation, for which reason God turns away from us. There is nothing else more loathsome to God than condemnation, for God is just, whereas condemnation is rife with injustice.”
(Elder St. Paisios in ‘Passions and Virtues’)
