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
