love without getting tired...


"…it is up to us to add labors to labors in order to “go from strength to strength” (Ps. 83:7),
and to come “to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Eph. 4:13)…"
- St. Seraphim of Sarov



"Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to
love without getting tired."
- Mother Teresa


I found this icon online at the Coptic Orthodox Church Center, Uk, in their section about iconography and personal prayers.

The icon is of Christ and the Samaritan woman (St. Photini, as the church knows her, "the light bearer") - an icon of love for us to consider today.
