 68 5,5    |        Christ in many ways: faith, love, obedience, witness, and
 69 5,5    |         prayer is to attain divine love. Other saints have referred

 79 6,1    |        consumed day and night~with love for Him?[104]~ ~Silouan
 80 6,1    |          even one soul may come to love the Lord and be turned to
 81 6,1    |     contemporaries but to all. The love of God, the call to repentance,
 82 6,1    |        Silouan's heart burned with love not only for Orthodox Christians,
 83 6,1    |      concerning the people, whom I love so greatly that I must~weep
 84 6,1    |          and know God, and live in love, and delight in freedom

 86 6,2    |            Him, from that hour its love for the Lord is greater
 87 6,2    |          is greater than any other love.~ Silouan draws a similar
 88 6,2    |        gracious, draws the soul to love the Lord. Writes Silouan:~ ~
 89 6,2    |           would know of the Lord's love for us, hate sin and wrong
 90 6,2    |          methods. He needs only to love his neighbor, be humble,
 91 6,2    |           and knows that it is He. Love and peace flood the soul. “
 92 6,3    |       himself.~ The Holy Spirit is love and sweetness to the whole
 93 6,3    |        soul. Unless we repent, the love of God remains no longer
 94 6,3    |      Spirit. Our spirits burn with love for them and their spirits
 95 6,3    |            their spirits burn with love for us. If love enables
 96 6,3    |          burn with love for us. If love enables one not to forget
 97 6,4    |        will know the assurance and love for God that comes to the
 98 6,4    |          the more he is fired with love and fervor towards Him.
 99 6,4    |         But without prayer who can love God? If one is forgetful
100 6,4    |           he will not dwell in the love of God, for the grace of
101 6,4    |      inflames the soul with divine love comes through prayer.~ Prayer
102 6,4    |          of prayer, such as divine love, humility, compassion, peace
103 6,4    |            sought with great care, love, and humility. God bestows
104 6,5    |          one. If the soul grows to love humility, then all the snares
105 6,5    |          find it easy because they love the Lord and He gives them
106 6,5    |            always God‑centered and love‑centered. According to Orthodox
107 6,5    |          the Lord's commandment to love God with all of his mind,
108 6,5    |           lose experience of God's love. Follow your own will and
109 6,5    |          soul is spiritually dead. Love your enemies, pray for those
110 6,6    |          authentic Christian life: love and humility. In his own
111 6,6    |            s humble, self‑emptying love for all people and for all
112 6,6    |          tender heart. Spontaneous love radiated from him and embraced
113 6,6    |           God and come to know His love. Once in a conversation

115 6,6    |       night I pray to the Lord for love, and the Lord gives me tears
116 6,6    |         Christian experiences such love everything rejoices in him.
117 6,6    |            he himself is at fault. Love of God and love of neighbor
118 6,6    |          at fault. Love of God and love of neighbor are the highest
119 6,6    |     Silouan is lyrical about God's love as reflected in the following
120 6,6    |            nothing better than the love of God when the Lord fires
121 6,6    |           Lord fires the~soul with love for God and our fellow‑man...
122 6,6    |           knows the delight of~the love of God... loves both God
123 6,6    |            our life.[119]~ ~Divine love, according to Silouan, reaches
124 6,6    |         until the lad was rescued. Love is in all things and unites
125 6,6    |           person must respond with love not only to people but also
126 6,6    |          heart that has learned to love feels sorry for every~created
127 6,6    |          The highest expression of love, and the surest criterion
128 6,6    |   criterion of Christian truth, is love of enemies, says the Saint.
129 6,6    |      enemies, says the Saint. True love cannot suffer a single soul
130 6,6    |           and sisters who need our love and prayers. Christ prayed
131 6,6    |          we must urge ourselves to love those who revile or injure
132 6,6    |            injure us. If we cannot love, at least let us not revile.
133 6,6    |         working in him. But divine love cannot be attained by human
134 6,6    |            divine grace. We cannot love our enemies without having
135 6,6    |            is so wounded by divine love that it “loses its wits.”
136 6,6    |       despair not because of God's love which forgives, reconciles
137 6,6    |            others in glory. Out of love the soul wishes every human

143 7,4    |          is guided by the power of love. Practical discernment knows

154 9,2    |    passions and evil imaginations. Love is shortchanged by selfishness.
155 9,2    |    remembered the goodness and the love of the Father on which he

157 9,2    |        only the supreme example of love and goodness, He is also
158 9,2    |      However, out of his boundless love for the world, God did not
159 9,2    |           St. Paul: “God shows His love for us in that while we
160 9,2    |      nothing can separate from the love of God in Jesus Christ —
161 9,3    |          in the manner of Christ’s love and service to others or
162 9,3    |            because of this burning love, they spoke boldly God’s
163 9,3    |          we must follow the way of love and affirm whatever in the
164 9,3    |         very soul. And yet we must love this dying world and offer
165 9,3    |          must, just as Christ did, love evil-doers with an unconditional
166 9,3    |   evil-doers with an unconditional love which alone can redeem sinners
167 9,3    |        draw them to the Kingdom of love. Orthodoxy is nothing if
168 9,3    |          this inexhaustible divine love and invincible paschal proclamation
169 9,3    |         looks upon us with eyes of love and tells us: “Take up your
170 9,3    |           world. Delight in me and love one another as I have loved
171 10,1   |           His self-giving to us in love. Orthodoxy is the treasure
172 10,1   |            that flow from God, His love, mercy, truth, righteousness,
173 10,1   |          Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God the Father and the

176 10,3   |       communion, and plentitude of love, so also in the life of
177 10,3   |           of the Body, nor that we love our brother and sister,
178 10,4   |          Christ in terms of “God’s love poured into our hearts through
179 10,4   |        fire of Orthodoxy. We mouth love and forgiveness, but really

181 10,5   |         one’s whole heart. “God is love” (1 Jn 4:8). The essence
182 10,5   |         response to God is but “to love the Lord your God with all
183 10,5   |           God, we ourselves become love and the Church becomes a
184 10,5   |      Church becomes a community of love, overflowing with concern
