Moze li andjeo stajati blizu demona? Imaju li dobro i zlo zajednickog brata? Tako ni zrtvenu Ljubav nikako ne mozemo staviti pored one, plotske, koja to zapravo i nije. Zrtvena Ljubav takvu "ljubav" sazize. Stradati uz veliki trud, muku i trpljenje radi zadobijanja Ljubavi Bozje, nije paradoks, vec nasa realnost, nase spasenje. Mucenici, na zemlji raspeti, na Nebu proslavljeni, oltar hrama, casa stradanja - eto kroz sta se projavljuje ta uzvisena, slatka i nebeska, zrtvena Ljubav. I Hristos kao Zrtvenik takve Ljubavi.

Zrtvenik ljubavi (The Altar of Love) is a compact work of spiritual prose about what it costs to love in the way the Gospels demand. Marko D. Markovic writes in clear, contemplative paragraphs about sacrifice, endurance, and the patient joy that comes from serving others. Drawing on Orthodox tradition yet speaking in an accessible contemporary voice, he distinguishes between the passing heat of desire and the enduring flame of self-giving love-the kind that purifies pride, quiets resentment, and frees the heart for God. Without polemic or ornament, the book offers short, meditative chapters suitable for daily reading or retreat, from reflections on humility and gratitude to the mystery of suffering transfigured. Whether you are beginning a spiritual journey or deepening a long practice, The Altar of Love offers steady counsel and consolation.
