The soul that really loves God and Christ…
By mmikhai1 in Sayings of St. Macarius on November 14, 2017
“The soul that really loves God and Christ, though it may do ten thousand righteousnesses, esteems itself as having wrought nothing, by reason of its insatiable aspiration after God. Though it should exhaust the body with fastings, with watchings, its attitude towards the virtues is as if it had not yet even begun to labor for them.”
+ St. Macarius the Great of Egypt, Homily 10, 4
