Be Confident

Εἶπε πάλιν· Εἰ δυνατὸν, ὅσα Βήματα Βάλλει ὁ μοναχὸς, ἢ ὅσας σταγόνας πίνει εἰς τὸ κελλίον αὐτοῦ, οφείλει θαρρεῖν τοῖς γέρουσιν, εἰ ἄρα οὐ πταίει ἐν αὐτοῖς.  Αποφθεγματα των ἀγιων γεροντων, Παλλαδιος

Again Father Anthony said, 'If possible, whenever a monk moves a step or drinks a drop in his cell, he should be confident to go to his elders, lest he insult them.' Sayings of the Fathers, Palladius of Galatia
