Freedom of the Heart : Fall in Love

The answer is always Love.

“When we approach someone with pain and true love, then this true love of Christ transforms our neighbor.”~

Saint Paisios of Mount Athos
Spiritual Councils IV: Family Life p.174

“If it is necessary to chastise a person in order to instruct him or to prevent him from falling into a worse mishap, He does so with mercy, and, if a person is able to accept this in the right spirit, He rewards him greatly, as though He feels sorry for having issued the punishment. Those whose inner vision has begun to clear can see God’s amazing Providence over man in things both great and small.” ~

Abbot Nikon Vorobiev
Abbot Nikon Letters to Spiritual Children p.85

“Chastise yourself for even the slightest transgression of God’s commandments, not allowing any self-justification.”
