"When Christ commanded: "Love your neighbor," He did not think as many
do, that it is necessary that we love only the good and the righteous
and healthy and good-looking, but also the bad and the unrighteous and
sick and leprous, and the hunchbacked and the blind and crazy and
unattractive and repulsive and disgusting..."
St. Nikolai Velimirovich.

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." Ephesians
2:10
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Bible reading for the 24th of Misra, August 30th, is:
20 Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the
world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be
turned into joy. 21 A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because
her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child,
she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has
been born into the world. 22 Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will
see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will
take from you. 23 And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most
assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He
will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask,
and you will receive, that your joy may be full. 25 These things I
have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when
I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell
you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in My name,
and I do not say to you that I shal
l pray the Father for you; 27 for the Father Himself loves you,
because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from
God. 28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world.
Again, I leave the world and go to the Father. 29 His disciples said
to Him, See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of
speech! 30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need
that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came
forth from God. 31 Jesus answered them, Do you now believe? 32 Indeed
the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered,
each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone,
because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you,
that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation;
but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (John 16:20-33)
