Sober Monk

Seeking liberation through watchfulness and holiness. A tall order for this sinner but not with divine aid. Have mercy on me a sinner. #watchfulness #holiness

Be like an astute business man : make stillness your criterion for testing the value of everything, and choose always what contributes to it. - #EvagriosTheSolitary

For only by raising himself above these things can a man achieve the life of stillness. - #EvagriosTheSolitary

the age to come. #Watchfulness is,in the true sense, purity of heart,a state blessed by #Christ when He says “Blessed are the pure in heart,for they shall see God” ...

[Sober Monk @sober_monk]

#Watchfulness is a spiritual method which,if sedulously practiced over a long period,completely frees us with God’s help from impassioned thoughts,impassioned words and evil actions.

[Sober Monk @sober_monk]

(#Watchfulness) leads,in so far as this is possible,to a sure knowledge of the in-apprehensible God,and helps us to penetrate the divine and hidden mysteries. It enables us to fulfill every divine commandment in the Old and New Testaments and bestows upon us every blessing of
