'The history of mankind is filled with all kinds of crimes, but there is no greater crime than war, especially in our times, “world wars”, when all people are in one way or another drawn into “fratricide”. Today one “rejoices” that hundreds of thousands are killed, and even millions “on one side”; tomorrow the victims rejoice that revenge has been gotten over the murderers. And thus the entire world is enveloped in hellish hatred, the Holy Spirit abandons people’s souls, and despair takes hold of their hearts...'
-St Sophrony, reflecting in 1975 on WWII.
(Quote shared from Anthony Brighton).
