إني أبصرت مصابيح من نار محيطـة بالرهبـان وجماعـة من

الملائكة بأيديهم سيوف ملتهبة يحرسونهم، وسمعت صوت

الله القدوس يقول (لا تتركوهم ما داموا مستقيمي الطريق)

             الأنبا أنطونيوس الكبير

 

I have seen lanterns of fire surrounding the monks and a multitude of angels with burning swords in their hands guarding them and I heard the voice of the holy God saying “Do Not Leave them as long as their ways are straight”

                                     -St. Anthony the Great

إن لم تستطـــع أن تحمــل عــن
النــاس متاعبهـــم فعلـــى الأقـل
لا تكـــن سببـــاً فـــى أتعابهــــم
قداسة البابا شنوده الثالث

If you are unable to carry people’s burden, do not be a cause for their troubles.
