Trials And Endurance


Πειρασμοῦ ἐπελθόντος, μὴ ζήτει διὰ τί, ἣ διὰ τίνος ἐλήλυθεν, ἀλλ᾽ ὅπως ἂν αὐτὸν εὐχαρίστως καὶ ἀμνησιχάχως ὑπομείνῃς.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ

When trial comes, do not seek why, or through whom it has come, but how you may endure it joyfully and without mindfulness of injury.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, On The Spiritual Law.
