Yelchaninov: spiritual gifts

Feast of Peter & Paul, Apostles
Meditation:
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
—1 Corinthians 14:1 (NIV)

Quotation:
Our help to people is often not in the system of the deliberate actions, influencing their soul, but in the invisible and unknown for us action of our spiritual gifts on them.
