Love Could Not Bear That
from Poets & Saints
ScriptureHabakkuk 3:17–18 (NIV)Though the fig tree does not budand there are no grapes on the vines,though the olive crop failsand the fields produce no food,though there are no sheep in the penand no cattle in the stalls,yet I will rejoice in the Lord,I will be joyful in God my Savior.RefrainLove could not bear that.QuoteSt. Silouan, from St. Silouan the Athoniteby Archimandrite Sophrony"A certain hermit said with evident satisfaction,'God will punish all atheists.They will burn in everlasting fire.'Silouan was clearly upset.He said,'Tell me — supposing you went to paradise,and there you looked downand saw someone burning in hell-fire —would you feel happy?''It can't be helped,' said the hermit.'It would be their own fault.'Silouan answered with a sorrowful countenance:'Love could not bear that.We must pray for all.'"
