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
monks learning

96

لا توجد ضيقة دائمة تستمر مدى الحياة لذلك في كل تجربة تمر بك قل: “مصيرها تنتهي. سيأتي عليها وقت وتعبر فيها بسلام. إنما خلال هذا الوقت ينبغي أن تحتفظ بهدوئك وأعصابك، فلا تضعف ولاتنهار، ولاتفقد الثقة في معونة اللـه وحفظه
قداسة البابا شنوده الثالث

There is no tribulation that will last forever; thus, in every suffering you come across say: “it will end, the time will come when it will pass peacefully. Yet, during the tribulation, remember to keep your inner peace, do not panic nor be weakened, and do not lose you trust in God’s support and in His protection.

-H.H. Pope Shenouda III
