We all have relatives who have departed from this life. The pain we feel for our loved ones must expand to encompass all the souls of the other world. Not only are there saints in Heaven, but there are also people in Hell. These people are also our brothers; they are souls from whom Christ was crucified. It is an invaluable act of charity to pray for these people. If possible, we should she one tear for them every day. Their pain, misfortune, agony, hopelessness, and despair must become our own pain and concern. We should think, "What will become of these people? Will they remain like this in Hell eternally?"
+Elder Ephraim of Philotheou, from The Art of Salvation, Homily 12, Pain, Sorrow, and Love
