أربعة عون الراهب الشاب:
الهذيذ في كل ساعة في ناموس اللـه –
مداومة السهر – النشاط في الصـلاة –
ألا يعتبر نفسه شيئاً.
القوى القديس الأنبا موسي

Four things aid the young monk: continuous striving in God’s statutes – continuous vigilance – praying fervently – and thinks not highly of himself.

-St. Moses the Strong

السمــــاوى.
