“We prepare the ground for our prayer when we shed something which is not Christ's, which is unworthy of him, and only the prayer of one who can, like St. Paul say, 'I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me,' is real Christian prayer.” RealChristianSpiritualChristPrayerShedOur PrayersUnworthyChristian Prayer Author:Anthony of Sourozh
“Unless we look at a person and see the beauty there is in this person, we can contribute nothing to him. One does not help a person by discerning what is wrong, what is ugly, what is distorted. Christ looked at everyone he met, at the prostitute, at the thief, and saw the beauty hidden there. Perhaps it was distorted, perhaps damaged, but it was beauty none the less, and what he did was to call out this beauty.” LooksPersonsDoeHelpingSpiritualChristSawsMetsUglyWrongThievesInner BeautyDistortionTrue BeautyDiscerningBeautiful Soul Author:Anthony of Sourozh
