Wisdom for the day – St. Porphyrios

October 10, 2014

“It is a great art to succeed in having your soul sanctified.

A person can become a saint anywhere.

He can become a saint in Omonia Square, if he wants.

At your work, whatever it may be, you can become a saint through meekness, patience, and love.

Make a new start every day, with new resolution, with enthusiasm and love, prayer and silence — not with anxiety so that you get a pain in the chest.”

St. Porphyrios, Wounded by Love
