On Repentance
The Lord
greatly loves the repenting sinner and mercifully presses him to His bosom:
"Where were you, My child? I was waiting a long time for you." The Lord
calls all to Himself with the voice of the Gospel, and his voice is heard in
all the world: "Come to me, my sheep. I created you, and I love you. My
love for you brought Me to earth, and I suffered all things for the sake of
your salvation, and I want you all to know my love, and to say, like the
apostles on Tabor: Lord, it is good for us to be with You."
St. Silouan the Athonite
