Imitating The Blind


Ὁ κατὰ μίμησιν τοῦ τυφλοῦ ἀποβαλὼν τὸ ἱμάτιον, καὶ ἐγγίσας τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἀκολουθεῖ αὐτῷ, καὶ κήρυξ γίνεται τῶν τελειοτέτων δογμάτων.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ

He who in imitation of the blind man casts off his garment and draws near the Lord, 1 he follows Him and he becomes a preacher of the perfect teaching.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, from On The Spiritual Law.

1 Mk 10.50
