The prophet Isaiah tells us that we should not, as some think, love only our own people; rather we should say to those who hate and curse you, \u201cYou are our brothers!\u201d And the Gospel also simply says, \u201cLove those who hate and curse you.\u201d
\n
\u2014 Theophilus of Antioch <\/em><\/p>\n

God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.
\n
\u2014 St Augustine <\/em><\/p>\n

This is the rule of the most perfect Christianity \u2026 CARING FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR. Indeed, even though you fast, or sleep on hard ground, or even suffer unto death, yet take no thought for your neighbor, you have done nothing great; despite what you have done, you still stand far from this model of a perfect Christian.
\n
\u2014 St John Chrysostom <\/em><\/p>\n

And as we by our prayers vanquish all demons who stir up war, and lead to the violation of oaths, and disturb the peace, we in this way are much more helpful to the kings than those who go into the field to fight for them. And we do take our part in public affairs, when along with righteous prayers we join in self-denying exercises and meditations, which teach us to despise pleasures, and not be led away by them. And none fight better for the king than we do. We do not indeed fight under him, although he requires it; but we fight on his behalf, forming a special army \u2014 and army of piety \u2014 by offering our prayers to God.
\n
\u2014 Origen <\/em>
