90 Years of Wisdom: 'We No Longer Love One Another'

In his reflection, Metropolitan Jonah (Paffhausen) shares a story of an elderly woman who observed that the world has lost its sense of love and compassion, becoming increasingly self-centered. He highlights how people often seek relationships not out of genuine love, but to satisfy their own loneliness, turning relationships into acts of selfishness. As Christians, he urges us to resist this cultural shift by embodying compassion, selflessness, and love for others. Metropolitan Jonah is a retired American Eastern Orthodox bishop who served as the primate of the Orthodox Church in America until his resignation on July 7, 2012.
