"For us let it be enough to know ourselves to be in the place where God wants us, and carry on our work, even though it be no more than the work of an ant, infinitesimally small, and with unforeseeable results."
-- Abbé Monchanin

Quote for the Day


A brother questioned Abba Poemen saying, 'What does it mean to repent of a fault?'  The old man said, 'Not to commit it again in the future.  This is the reason the righteous were called blameless, fot they gave up their faults and became righteous.'
-- Sayings of the Desert Fathers
