It is selfishness and ego that prevents man from loving God and loving his
brother. The Christian struggles to root out selfishness, to root out the
passions that darken his mind and imprison his heart. He struggles to please
God. He knows God’s commandments and wants to keep those
commandments in his life with precision.
Elder Georgios Grigoriatis Kapsanis (1935-2014)
Translated by Dr. Nick Stergiou
