"As long as one deals with the spiritual, one increases one's love for Christ. The spiritual and the carnal are like communicating vessels. When the spiritual ascends, the carnal thoughts descend, and when the spiritual descends, the carnal desire and the passions in general ascend. The spiritual is the love of Christ!"
"Do not ask for love, to give love. With love you gain love. Otherwise you will sit like a beggar and beg for love from one and the other and you will do nothing else in your life. Do you want love? Give love! "
St. Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia
