Prayer for the others
Pray for others as you would pray for yourself, for we are one, as the children of the Heavenly Father.
- St. John of Kronstadt
What is humility
They asked and elder, “What is humility?” The elder said, “When your brother sins against you, and you forgive him, before he repents before you.”
- From the Ancient Patericon
From St. John of Damascus
”… if we say that the Father is the origin of the Son and greater than the Son, we do not suggest any precedence in time or superiority in nature of the Father over the Son (cf. Jn. 14:28)? or superiority in any other respect save causation. And we mean by this, that the Son is begotten of the Father and not the Father of the Son, and that the Father naturally is the cause of the Son.”
