Orthodox Quote for September 7
“Christ distributes to every person there. He does not stop and ask whether their need is meritorious nor does he ask any questions as to why they cannot provide for themselves. There is a need and Christ meets that need. Christ provides. We on the other hand tend to be critical, judgemental and mistrustful. We look to motive. We look to reason as to why you the person in front of us cannot fend for themselves.”
(Fr. Themi Adamopoulo on Christ and the Loaves’)
