Lessons by our Holy Fathers
We must love our neighbor still more when he sins against God, or against ourselves, because then he is sick, because then he is in spiritual misfortune, in danger; then, especially, we must have compassion upon him, pray for him, and apply to his heart a healing plaster - a word of kindness, instruction, reproval, consolation, forgiveness, love.
