We should be zealots. A zealot is a person who loves Christ with all his soul and who serves his fellow men in Christ\u2019s 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\u2019t leap to conclusions about anybody, but your love will cover all things\u2019. Even to a person of another religion you will always act as a Christian.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"323l0\" data-offset-key=\"bdlpb-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"bdlpb-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"bdlpb-0-0\"> &#8211; &#8216;Wounded by Love&#8217;<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"bdlpb-0-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4846\" src=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monks-chanting_13135_990x742-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monks-chanting_13135_990x742-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monks-chanting_13135_990x742-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monks-chanting_13135_990x742-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/monks-chanting_13135_990x742.jpg 989w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe best form of mission is through our good example, our love and our meekness.
