Quote for the day

Today St. Basil is remembered in the Orthodox Christian Church.  Find out more about this amazing Father of the Church here: www.OCA.org

Here is a quote>>

"The Christian ought not to say anything behind his brother’s back with the object of calumniating
him, for this is slander, even if what is said is true (cf. II Cor. 12:20; I Pet. 2:1). He ought to turn
away from the brother who speaks evil against him (cf. I Pet. 3:16-17; Jms. 4:11)…"

St. Basil the Great
