State super vias et videte et interrogate de semitis antiquis quae sit via bona et ambulate in ea et invenietis refrigerium animabus vestris

Watching Out for Death and the Devil


Ὠφέλιμον ἔσται σοι, καὶ ἄγαν καρδαλέον, τὸ ἔχειν ἀεὶ πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν τὴν ἔξοδον τοῦ βίου, καὶ φεύγειν τοῦ διαβόλου τὰ πολύπλοκα δίκτυα. 

Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΣΑΓ' Θεοπεμπτῳ Προτηκτορι
It shall benefit you, and be of great profit, to have always before your eyes your exit from this life and that you should flee the intricate nets of the Devil.

Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 233, To Theopemptus
