“Why do you go to Church every day, and yet you haven’t made up with your children?”

“Why do you go to Church every day, and yet you haven’t made up with your children?”

“The Christian who loves all people has a great reward, especially if he forgives those who do him evil. For if we don’t love our neighbour, all the good works we do will be worthless. They amount to nothing, we will be worthless. Love, my brethren. God requires love from us.”

To someone who decided to dissolve his marriage because his mother-in-law intervened indiscriminately in his house, the Elder said the following: “A wife you cannot break away from easily. God gave her to you, and with her you will suffer.”

He said to a certain pilgrim about a dispute: “He did this to you, you did this to him, he did this to you, and again you did this to him. These things never end. You should not have continued to return the evil.”
