Love

“Many have said much about love, but you will find love itself only if you seek it among the disciples of Christ. For only they have true Love as love’s teacher. ‘Though I have the gift of prophecy’, says St. Paul, ‘and know all mysteries and all knowledge... and have no love, it profits me nothing’ (I Cor. 13:2-3). He who possesses love possesses God Himself, for ‘God is love’ (I John 4:8). To Him be glory throughout the ages. Amen.”
~St. Maximus the Confessor
