“Our Lord Jesus Christ made the merciful shepherding of His sheep the proof of love for Himself (cf. Jn. 21:15-17). He denounces as 'wicked' the servant who refused to pardon the debt of his fellow servant and who did not share in even the smallest way, the immense kindness that was bestowed on himself; that he should suffer the fate which he dealt is plainly shown to be right (cf. Mt. 18:32-33).” WayShouldMadeChristianSufferingJesusChristLordKindnessFateShareJesus ChristFellowsDebtProofServantWickedOrthodoxSheepImmenseSmallestOur LordPardonOrthodox ChristianMercifulLord Jesus ChristCfsOur Lord Jesus ChristProof Of Love Author:Pope Dionysius

“The call of God is to preach the gospel--namely, the reality of redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the gospel of God.
