Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol: Humility receives Christ's love

The post presents a saying of Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol. He asks who receives the love of Christ and answers that Christ makes no distinctions and loves everyone. Those who receive His love are those who have faith. Those who believe are the humble.

The proud person does not believe because he believes in himself, and pride does not allow him to believe. The humble person believes because he experiences his humility and understands that he needs the presence and mercy of Christ. The accompanying video summary notes that Christ is present in media and loves all people.

It repeats that the proud person cannot believe because pride prevents faith and he does not even believe in himself. The humble person believes because he lives his humility and recognizes his need for Christ's presence and mercy. The discussion likely reflects on the Orthodox understanding of humility as the foundation of faith and pride as an obstacle to receiving divine love.
