Words of Wisdom from Elder Porphyrius (1906-1991)

[Chrysostomos]

When our brother errs we must bear his temptation. True love inspires us to make sacrifices for the good of our neighbor. Without sacrifice and with our condemnation we cause our brother who fell, to fall even further; while with the silent sacrifice of our love and prayer for him, we awaken his conscience, which awakens and condemns him, and so he repents and is corrected. - Elder Porphyrius
