“If in order to put an end to public wars, and tumults, and battles, the Priest is exhorted to offer prayers for kings and governors, much more ought private individuals to do it.” – St John Chrysostom, Homily 7 on 1 Tim 2:2-4
“If we live as people of God, there will be room for all nations in the Balkans and in the world. If we liken ourselves to Cain who killed his brother Abel, then the entire earth will be too small even for two people. The Lord Jesus Christ teaches us to be always children of God and love one another. We should remember the words of St. Paul: “If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men.” –Patriarch Pavle of the Serbian Orthodox Church [source]
“Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?” – St. David, The Psalter
