PEACE AND GRACE!
Abba Paul the Hermit, commemorated on 2 Meshir/9 February
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
When the same Father Antony meditated on the depth of the judgment of God, he asked, “Lord, how is it that some die when they are young, while others drag on to extreme old age? And why are some poor and others rich? Why do wicked people prosper and why are the just in need? He heard a voice answering him, “Antony, keep your attention on yourself; these things are according to the judgment of God, and it is not to your benefit to know anything about them.
