Some monks came to see Abba Lucius and they said to him, "We do not work with our hands; we obey Paul's command and pray without ceasing."
The old man said, "Do you not eat or sleep?"
They said, "Yes, we do."
...He said, "Who prays for you while you are asleep? Excuse me, brothers, but you do not practice what you claim. I will show you how I pray without ceasing, though I work with my hands. With God's help, I collect a few palm-leaves and sixteen pence. Two of these I put ouside my door and with the rest I buy food. And he who finds the two coins outside the door prays for me while I eat and sleep. And so by the help of God I pray without ceasing."

"On the way to Jerusalem Jesus passed along the border between Samaria and Galilee, and when he entered one of the villages ten lepers came to meet him." What do these ten lepers stand for if not the sum total of all sinners? When Christ the Lord came not all men and women were leprous in body, but in soul they were, and to have a soul full of leprosy is much worse than to have a leprous body. [ 407 more words ]
