Spiritual Quotes
"The great virtue of the monastic orders in Catholicism—each with an emphasis on a different work or form of manifesting love—is the recognition of the plurality of styles. Each one manifests his faith according to his personality. There’s no mandatory style. Ana is entirely Christian, but she wrongly believes that only her style—the uninterrupted seraphic smile, the unctuous gestures and folded hands, the exclusive use of pious words—is the only currency with value. In the Patericon it’s very clear: not even the Christian lifestyle of a great hermit in the Thebaid is incomparable and inimitable. The lifestyle of a random poor cobbler in Alexandria, a married man and father of children, can be higher than that practiced by St Anthony himself, the great ascetic."
- Fr. Nicholas Steinhardt, The Journal of Joy
