St. Gabriel of Georgia: "A person has nothing to fear before God..."

"Evil men don't exist. I have not yet met that type of person."***

"Though I lived in a cemetery, the Lord freed me from my fears and confirmed to me that a person has nothing to fear before God--except for sin!"
-St. Gabriel the New Confessor of Georgia

***Note: The Saint, in this beautiful phrase, expresses both the purity and innocence with which the Saints behold others, and the notion that man is created in the image of God, not inherently evil (despite our fallen nature), but it is our weaknesses and the guile of the demons that bring sin and evil deeds into man. Amazingly he says this after having been persecuted by Communists and condemned to a mental institution for his confession of Christ.
  

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
