Elder St Porphyrios on Zealots
“The best form of mission is through our good example, our love and our meekness. We should be zealots. A zealot is a person who loves Christ with all his soul and who serves his fellow men in Christ’s name. Love for God and for our neighbor; they go together and cannot be divorced. Passion, yearning and tears along with contrition, not for a purpose, but all as an overflowing of the heart! Fanaticism has nothing to do with Christ. Be a true Christian. Then you won’t leap to conclusions about anybody, but your love will cover all things’. Even to a person of another religion you will always act as a Christian.”
