Food for Thought for a Sunday–Wisdom from Abbot Pastor

Found there:

“Abbot Pastor said: A man must breathe humility and the fear of God just as ceaselessly as he inhales and exhales the air.” (116)

“Abbot Pastor said: Any trial whatever that comes to you can be conquered by silence….” (122)

“Abbot Pastor said: Just as bees are driven out by smoke, and their honey is taken away from them, so a life of ease drives out the fear of the Lord from man’s soul and takes away all his good works.” (138)
