Isaac of Syria: the infirmity of Adam
Meditation:
Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.—Jude 1:22-23 (NIV)
Quotation:
Love sinners, but hate their works; and do not despise them for their faults, lest you be tempted by the same. Remember that you share the earthly nature of Adam and that you are clothed with his infirmity.... St. Isaac of Syria (d. c. 700), Homilies 5, in Ascetical Homilies, p. 51
