“If your heart has been softened either by repentance before God or
by learning the boundless love of God towards you, do not be proud with
those whose hearts are still hard. Remember how long your heart was hard
and incorrigible. Seven brothers were ill in one hospital. One
recovered from his illness and got up and rushed to serve his other
brothers with brotherly love, to speed their recovery. Be like this
brother. Consider all men to be your brothers, and sick brothers at
that. And if you come to feel that God has given you better health than
others, know that it is given through mercy, so in health you may serve
your frailer brothers.”
– St Nikolai Velimirovich, Prologue, 31 March
