“Since a priest is a representative of God, he must care for every individual, for he is a father to the entire world. Sonship is not limited to the presence of a father. Love is required. This is with regards to natural fatherhood. So how much more deep love from the heart is required for the sonship according to grace?! Samuel’s greatness was truly demonstrated in 1 Samuel 12:23 when he said: “Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.”” (Saint John Chrysostom) Prev post “Since a priest is a representative of God, he must care for every individual, for he is a father to the entire world.

Next post “Humans are carried in their mothers’ wombs to be shaped. When their shaping is complete, they are born through contractions. One wonders at the saying of Paul the Apostle: “My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you” (Galatians 4:19). This laboring is the pains which occur until we are born in Christ. He labors for them a second time because of their fall in sin, for he sees that they have become distorted.” (Saint Augustine) “Humans are carried in their mothers’ wombs to be shaped.
