Saint Silouan the Athonite.
We all suffer on earth and seek freedom, but few know what freedom is, where it is.
And I, too, desire freedom, and I seek it day and night... I have come to know that it is with God, and from God it is given to humble hearts who have repented and cut out their will before Him. To the repentant, the Lord gives His peace and the freedom to love Him. And there is nothing better in the world than to love God and one's neighbor. In this, the soul finds peace and joy.
