Below are quotations about Love from the writings of the Church Fathers. How we should live our lives is a big topic in the Bible and modern discourse. In the text and in society, there are prohibitions that prevent us from seeking the bad. But what is the good? What should a Christian strive to do and be? The Church Fathers discuss this in great detail and present us with many challenging ideas.
The Apostolic Fathers
The Didache
Rather, be meek, since the meek shall inherit the earth. Be long-suffering and pitiful and guileless and gentle and good and always trembling at the words which you have heard. You shall not exalt yourself, nor give over-confidence to your soul. Your soul shall not be joined with lofty ones, but with just and lowly ones shall it have its intercourse. Accept whatever happens to you as good, knowing that apart from God nothing comes to pass.
