Dealing with a Thief

Ὁ αὐτὸς ἀββᾶς Μακάριος, ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ὤν, εὐρεν ἄνθρωπον ἔχοντα κτῆνος καὶ συλοῦντα τὰς χρείας αύτοῦ· καὶ αὐτὸς ὡς ξένος παραστὰς τῷ συλοῦντι, συνεγέμου τὸ κτῆνος, καὶ μετὰ πολλης ἡσυχίας προέπεμπεν αὐτὸν, λέγων, ὅτι Ούδὲν εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, δῆλον ὅτι οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι δυνάμεθα. Ὁ Κύριος ἔδωκεν· ὡς αὐτὸς ἠθήλησεν, οὕτως καὶ ἐγένετο. Εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ἐπὶ πᾶσιν. Ἀποφθεγματα των ἀγιων γεροντων, Παλλαδιος

While he was in Egypt Father Macarius came upon a man who owned a beast of burden stealing his possessions, and he came to the thief as if he was a stranger, and he helped him to load the animal, and he saw him off wishing him peace, saying, 'We have brought nothing into this world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.' 1 'The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord in all things.' 2 Sayings of the Desert Fathers, Palladius of Galatia  1 1 Tim. 6.7 2 Job 1.21
