Unselfish Love: Metropolitan Anthony Bloom



"To Love means to look at a person and see in this person a treasure, something infinitely precious, something that's worth giving one's own life. Not giving it grudgingly but rejoicing in the fact that we can give, all our heart, all our intention, all our strength in the service of this person. And also conquer in us everything that is contrary to love which can hurt, which can diminish life of the person we want to love.

...Let us therefore think of the people who are around us..and ask ourselves...what can we offer them that will enhance their life, make it deep, make it great, bring joy into it...and then we will have fulfilled the law of love. The Lord says to us 'forget yourself, love the other, may your life be his joy, his strength, his inspiration.' Amen." 

+ Metropolitan Anthony Bloom of Sourozh



For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. + John 3:16

Reminder: You are the beloved of the Beloved!!!

May the prayers of the Saints who are in union with Love, be with you.

Glory to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
