Quote from Ancient Patericon (St. Anthony the Great & Abba Macarius) ~ How Can we be Saved?





   A certain monk asked St. Anthony the Great, "What must I do to be saved?" The elder answered him, "Don't trust in your own righteousness, don't worry about what's past, and constrain your tongue and your stomach."

(Ancient Patericon, 1.2)
  


   Another brother asked Abba Macarius, "How can I be saved?" The elder answered him, "Be like one dead: do not think about insults from people, nor of glory, and you will be saved."


(Ancient Patericon, 10.45)
