Wisdom for the day – Elder Porphyrios

March 20, 2013

We need always to have thoughts of love for our brothers and sisters…

We need to have goodness and love in our soul…

Man has such powers that he can transmit good or evil to his environment.

These matters are very delicate.

Great care is needed.

We need to see everything in a positive frame of mind.

We mustn’t think anything evil about others.

Even a simple glance or a sigh influences those around us.

And even the slightest anger or indignation does harm.

We need to have goodness and love in our soul and to transmit these things.

Elder Porphyrios
