Archimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov). "Saint Silouan the Athonite".
When the soul learns love from the Lord, then it feels mercy for the whole universe, every creature of God, and it prays that all people will repent and accept the grace of the Holy Spirit. But if the soul loses grace, then love departs from it, for it is impossible to love enemies without the grace of God, and then evil thoughts come from the heart, as the Lord says (Matthew 15:19, Mark 7:21-22).
