Quote by St. Mark the Ascetic ~ Love Toward Enemies

When you have been insulted, cursed, or persecuted by someone, do not think of what has happened to you, but of what will come from it, and you will see that your insulter has become the cause of many benefits to you, not only in this age, but in that which is to come.


(St. Mark the Ascetic, Homilies, 1.114)


Do not desire to hear about the misfortunes of those who oppose you. For those who listen to such speech later reap the fruits of their evil intention.

(St. Mark the Ascetic, Homilies, 2.173)
