On my own I am not the Church, but
together with you. All together we are the Church. All are incorporated in the
Church. We are all one and Christ is the head. …The important thing is for us
to enter into the Church – to unite ourselves with our fellow men, with the
joys and sorrows of each and everyone, to feel that they are our own, to pray for
everyone, to have care for their salvation, to forget about ourselves, to do
everything for them just as Christ did for us. In the Church we become one with
each unfortunate, suffering and sinful soul. No one should wish to be saved
alone without all others being saved.
(St. Porphyrios, Wounded by Love, p.
89)
