Ἐποίησέ ποτε ὁ ἀββᾶς Μακάριος τετράμηνον, παραβὰλλων τινὶ ἀδελφῷ ἡμερούσιον· καὶ οὐχ εὖρεν αὐτὸν εὐκαιροῦντα ἀπο τῆς προσευχῆς οὐδὲ ἄπαξ· καὶ θαυμάσας ἔλεγεν· Ἰδοὐ ἐπίγειος ἄγγελος. ᾽Αποφθεγματα των ἀγιων γεροντων, Παλλαδιος |
Every day for four whole months father Macarius looked in on a certain brother, and he did not ever find him when he was not praying, not even once, and amazed he said, 'Behold, an angel on the earth.' Sayings of the Desert Fathers, Palladius of Galatia |
