Our Vocation: Encouraging, Not Instructing



One day, when St. Antony of the Desert had gone out and all the monks came to him asking to hear discourse, he spoke to them as follows:

"The Scriptures are enough for our instruction. Yet it is well that we should encourage each other in the Faith and stimulate each other with words."

Saint Antony of the Desert
(251-356 A.D.)
By St. Athanasius
