A story from the tradition of the desert spirituality
recounts how some monks asked Abba Peoman if they should awaken those who fell
asleep during worship. Abba Poeman
responded, “For my part, when I see a brother who is dosing, I put his head of
my knees and let him rest.” Quoted by
John s. Mogabgab, “Editor’s Instruction.”
Next time, instead of criticizing, give someone the “benefit
of doubt.” You do not know what they
need.
