“WHOEVER entertains in his heart any trace of hatred for anyone, regardless of what the offence may have been, is a complete stranger to the love of God. Love of God and hatred of any man are absolutely incompatible with one another.”
~St. Maximus of Constantinople: Centuries on Charity, 1, 15.
Also known as “the Theologian” and “Maximus the Confessor”, born at Constantinople about 580; died in exile 13 August, 662. St. Maximus was an abbot, mystic, and Doctor of the Church, who suffered persecution from Emperor Constans II and the Monothelitist heretics.
