We shouldn’t be enraged by people who blaspheme or who speak and act against God and the Church. Such rage is harmful. We may hate the words and the malice behind them, but we must not hate the person who spoke them nor become enraged against him. Rather we should pray for him. A Christian has love and graciousness and should behave accordingly. Just as a hermit, who is seen by no one, benefits the world because the mystical waves of his prayers influence people and transmit the Holy Spirit into the world, so you, too, should scatter your love, without expecting anything in return – with love, patience and a smile. – St. Porphyrios #orthodox #orthodoxy #orthodoxchurch #christian #wisdomofthefathers #stporphyrios #love #prayforothers #powerofprayer A photo posted by Wisdom of the Fathers (@wisdomofthefathers) on Mar 11, 2016 at 9:42pm PST
