The Apostolic Way

Ὁ κακουχίαν καὶ ἀτιμίαν ὑπὲρ ἀληθείας αἰρούμενος ἀποστολικὴν ὁδὸν πορεύεται, τὸν σταυρὸν ἄρας, καὶ τὴν ἄλυσιν περικείμενος. Ὁ δὲ ἐκτὸς τῶν δύο τούτων προσέχειν τῇ καρδίᾳ πειρώμενος, πλανᾶται κατὰ νοῦν, καὶ ἐμπίπτει εἰς πειρασμούς καὶ παγίδας τοῦ διαβόλου. Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Τῶν Οἰομένων Ἐξ Ἔργων Δικαιοῦσθαι Source:  Migne PG 65.953d-956a

He who receives abuse and shame for the sake of truth walks on the Apostolic way and bears the cross and wears the chain. And he who apart from these two things would direct his heart, his mind is deceived and he falls into the temptations and snares of the devil. Saint Mark The Ascetic, from On Those Who Think Themselves Justified By Works
