“When someone has a vice we should try to bombard him with rays of love and compassion that he may be cured and freed. These things are achieved only through the grace of God. Think that this person is suffering more than you. In a coenobitic monastery when someone is at fault we should not tell him that he is to blame. We must adopt an attitude of care, respect and prayer. We must endeavor not to do anything harmful. When we endure insults from our brother it counts as martyrdom. It is something we should endure with joy.”
Elder Porphyrios
~Wounded by Love
