Orthodox Quote for August 9
“Many people take no account of their own gifts; they see only the gifts of others and are overcome by envy. They view themselves as having been wronged, as lesser, and end up tormenting themselves, making their lives miserable. They say to themselves, “Why should he have those gifts and not I?” But, you see, he has his own gifts, and you have others.”
(Elder St. Paisios ‘Passions and Virtues’)
