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.
Come for a dose of inspiration from some of the greatest (and at times oddest) minds of history. The table is set. Come eat.
