      ممقوت عند اللـه كل نياح جسدانى
      الأنبا بيمن

      Abhorred by God is all bodily comfort.

      إن الراهب غريب في أرض غريبــــــــة،
      فإذا أراد أن يجد راحــــة فعليـــه أن لا
      ُيشغل نفسه بأي شئ فيهــــــا.
      القديس أرسانيوس

      The monk is a sojourner in a strange land. If he wants to find true comfort, he must not occupy himself with anything in it.

      تشَّبه بعفة يوسف وحكمته
      وصبره وإتبع سيرتــــــه.
      مارإفرايم السرياني

      Be likened to the chastity of Joseph, his wisdom, and his patience following in his footsteps.

      -St. Ephraim the Syrian
