From: Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 22:18:04 -0400 Subject: My Life in Christ, St. John of Kronstadt "Every
person that does any evil, that gratifies any passion, is sufficiently
punished by the evil he has committed, by the passion he serves, but
chiefly by the fact that he withdraws himself from God, and God
withdraws Himself from him:
it would therefore be insane and most inhuman to nourish anger against
such a man; it would be the same as to drown a sinking man, or to push
into the fire a person who is already being devoured by the flame. To
such a man, as to one in danger of perishing, we must show double love,
and pray fervently to God for him; not judging him, not rejoicing at his
misfortune."
