“That’s why be careful as much as you can’t of disobedience, condemnation, pride, jealousy, over-eating and from whatever gives authority to the devil but also from slackness. It’s time to wake up? They don’t turn from side to side yawning. Don’t wake up like you are worn out. Monastic life requires vitality. We either live or die. Have you woken up? Get up, do your cross and say immediately “Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me.””
