Short, but sweet


Who hated sin more than the saints? But they did not hate the sinners at the same time, nor condemn them, nor turn away from them.
They suffered with them, admonished them, comforted them, gave them remedies, as with sickly members.
They did all they could to heal them.

Abba Dorotheos of Gaza
AD 505~565

It is never too late for sinners to repent and ask God for forgiveness for their sins.
As the Orthodox liturgy indicates, only Christ was sinless during His life on earth. All human beings on earth have committed sins.
