He is the life of all, the salvation of all—
- faithful and unfaithful,
- just and unjust,
- pious and impious,
- passionate and dispassionate,
- monks and seculars,
- wise and simple,
- healthy and sick,
- young and old
—just as the diffusion of light, the sight of the sun, and the changes of the weather are for all alike; ‘for there is no respect of persons with God’
St. John Climacus
