QUOTE for the day

[JustMe]

The Lord loves all people, but He loves those who seek Him even more. To his chosen ones the Lord gives such great grace that for love they forsake the whole earth, the whole world, and their souls burn with desire that all people might be saved and see the glory of the Lord.
(St. Silouan the Athonite, Writings, IX.8)

 

[JustMe]

A lie is a delusion of the mind, while evil is a delusion of the will. The sign by which one is distinguished from the other is the judgement of God Himself ... that which he teaches a man: Truth is that which leads a man to will the good. But whatever contradicts this is entirely false, entirely evil.
(St. Nicholas Cabasilas, Seven Sermons on the Life in Christ, 7)
