Patience And Cure

Ἔλεγον περὶ τοῦ ἀββᾶ Ἰσιδώρου τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου τῆς Σκήτεως, ὅτι εἴ τις εἶχεν ἀδελφὸν ἀσθενῆς , ἡ ὀλίγωρον, ἢ ὑβριστὴν , καὶ ἤθελε βαλεῖν αὐτὸν ἔξω, ἔλεγε· Φέρε μoι αὐτὸν ὧδε . Καὶ ἐλάμβανεν αὐτὸν, καὶ διὰ τῆς μακροθυμίας αὐτοῦ ἔσωσεν αὐτον Ἀποφθέγματα Των Ἁγίων Γερόντων, Παλλάδιος Γαλατίας Source: Migne PG 65.220c

It was said of Father Isidore, a priest of Scetis, that when anyone had a brother who was sick, or careless, or irritable, and they wanted to drive him away, he would say, 'Bring him here to me.' Then he received him and cured him by his patience. Sayings of the Desert Fathers, Palladius of Galatia
