| Μὴ θαρσήσῃς τῷ γήρα· καὶ γὰρ καὶ γέροντες πίπτουσιν· ἐπικαλοῦ δὲ τὸν Χριστὸν ἀεὶ πρὸς βοήθειαν, ἵν αὐτός σου φρουρὸς καὶ ἄσειστος ἀσφάλεια γένηται. Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Δεύτερον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΚΓ´ Ἀφροσισιῳ Διακονῳ Source: Migne PG 79.209c | Do not be over confident in old age, for even old men have fallen. But always call on Christ as your help, that he may be your guard and unshakeable security. Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 2, Letter 23 to Aphrodisius the Deacon |
