Maximus the Confessor Quotes About Hate

• Pero yo os digo que el Señor dice: amad a vuestros enemigos, haced el bien a los que os odian, orad por los que os persiguen. ¿Por qué ordenó estas cosas? Para liberaros del odio, de la tristeza, de la ira y del rencor, y concederos la mayor posesión de todas, el amor perfecto, que es imposible de poseer sino por quien ama a todos por igual a imitación de Dios.

  Christian, Hate, Love You

• The person who loves God cannot help loving every man as himself, even though he is grieved by the passions of those who are not yet purified. But when they amend their lives, his delight is indescribable and knows no bounds. A soul filled with thoughts of sensual desire and hatred is unpurified. If we detect any trace of hatred in our hearts against any man whatsoever for committing any fault, we are utterly estranged from love for God, since love for God absolutely precludes us from hating any man.

  Love, Christian, Hate

• A soul that is nurtured by hatred toward man can not be at peace with God, Who has said: If you forgive not men their sins, neither shall your Father forgive your sins (Matt. 6:15). If a man does not want to be reconciled, you must at least guard yourself from hating, praying with a pure heart for him, and speaking no evil of him.

  Maximus the Confessor

  Inspirador, Cristiano, Religioso

• He has as yet no perfect love, whose disposition towards men depends on what they are like, loving one and despising another for this or that, or sometimes loving, sometimes hating one and the same man. Blessed is the man who can love all men equally.
