أصبر للأحزان، لأن بها يأخذ المجاهدون الأكاليل
القديس نيلس

Be patient in suffering, for those who struggle receive their crowns.

الراهب بالحقيقة هو الرجل الذى إستطاع أن يكون مُنعزلاً بجسده مُقيماً فى حياة التأمل والسكون،عاملاً بالروح والجسد، مُتضعاً، باكياً على خطاياه، قاطعاً من نفسه كل ذكريات الشهوة والأفكار المُقلِقة ومُتأملاً فى اللـه وكيف يحيا بإستقامة

The true monk is he who is capable of living in a life of solitude in the flesh, living the life of contemplation and silence, laboring his spirit and body, being modest, weeping for his sins, casting off the remembrance of desires and distressful thoughts, and contemplating on God and living uprightly.

Sayings of the Desert Fathers

104

إن أردت أن ُتـريــح النــاس فإفعــل
ذلك بالطريقة التي يرونهــا مريحـة
لهم، ليس حسب فكرك لأنــك ربمـا قداسة البابا شنوده الثالث
تحاول أن تريحهـم بأسـلوب يُتعبهم.

If you desire to comfort people, do so in a way that is comforting for them, not according to your will, for you may attempt in a way that discomforts them.

-H.H. Pope Shenouda III
