Thursday After Lent 4
Start by reading Psalm 51 reflectively. After a period of silence, read over the quote for the day. Consider within yourself what it might mean…
Amma Syncletica said, “It is dangerous for anyone to teach who has not first been trained in the “practical” life. For if someone who owns a ruined house receives guests there, he does them harm because of the dilapidation of his dwelling. It is the same in the case of someone who has not first built an interior dwelling; he causes loss to those who come. By words one may convert them to salvation, but by evil behavior, on injures them (The Sayings of the Desert Fathers Sigma.12).”
