St. Mark the Ascetic: Forgiveness as the Sign of Sincere Love

The post presents two quotations from Orthodox saints. The first, from St. Porphyrios of Kausokalyvia, states that a person who is a man of God, makes confession, receives Holy Communion, and wears a cross suffers no harm even if all demons attack. The second, from St. Mark the Ascetic, identifies the sign of sincere love as the forgiveness of wrongs done to us, noting that Christ loved the world with such love. The post shares these teachings without additional commentary.
