“The Lord gives us very much, but we give our neighbors very little. The Lord generously shares with us His grace and His gifts, but we begrudge people money, things, time, and attention; we fear wasting the talents given to us, forgetting that, if we do not put them into circulation, they will lose value, just as money…The Lord has given us talents not so that we would guard their wealth ourselves, but so that we would share them with our neighbors.”
(Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) [Forgiveness; Love of Neighbor]
