“If you have Christian love for your neighbor, then all heaven will love you; if you have union of spirit with your fellow-creatures, then you shall have union with God and all the dwellers of heaven; if you are merciful to your neighbor, then God and all the Angels and Saints will be merciful to you; and if you pray for others, then all heaven will intercede for you. The Lord our God is holy, be so yourself also.”
St. John of Kronstadt
“My Life in Christ”
