"Anger and hatred are the real enemies that we must confront and defeat, not the 'enemies' who appear from time to time in our lives."

Previous Quote

To harbor no envy, no anger, no resentment against an offender is still not to have charity for him. It is possible, without any charity, to avoid rendering evil for evil. But to render, spontaneously, good for evil - such belongs to a perfect spiritual love.
