“Lord, remember David and all his afflictions” – Psalm 131 (132):1 . “How compassionate was his spirit! He was truly justified, as it came in his psalm: “Lord, Remember David and all his meekness” Let us follow his lead; … Let us utter no word against our adversary, nor do him evil, but present to him goodness as much as we can; As by that, we do good to ourselves more than to him; according to the Lord’s command to forgive our enemies, so that God will also forgive us (Matthew 6: 14).” – St. John Chrysostom #afflictions #meekness #humility #stbishoy #stpishoy #forgive #loveyourenemies
