Egotism is a weird passion that’s a scourge of the whole of the human race. We all suffer from this great sickness. Egotism makes a fool and a mockery of egotistical people. God calls on us to fight against this egotism, to defeat it and to rid ourselves of it.

One of the Elders said: ‘Above all, we need humility, to be ready to say “Forgive me” whatever is said to us. Because through humility, everything from the enemy and hinderer is destroyed’ . Let us see power of the elder’s words. Why does he say that we require humility above all, instead of ‘We need restraint above all’? For the Apostle tells us that ‘those who enter games always show restraint’ (I Cor. 9, 25) ? Or why does he not say: ‘Above all we need fear of God’? For Scripture tells us that the beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord (Ps. 110, 10) And again that all those who fear the Lord depart from evil (Prov. ...

Waging war against us isn’t all that easy for the demons. During the battle, they feel sorrow and unease, especially when they’re faced with formidable opponents, in other words, with holy and perfected Christians. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be talking at all about a battle and a struggle between us and the demons, but simply about our defeat and destruction, because they’d rout us straight away, without let or hindrance. So there’s concern on both sides. Defeat is painful for both sides and causes turmoil, whereas victory produces joy. So if they’re able to best us on occasion, we, in turn, can pay them back.
The highest peak on the Holy Mountain is that of Athos, which is why the whole of the peninsula is named after it. The whole peninsula is full of monasteries and sketes. It’s dedicated to God and, in particular, to His Most Holy Birth-Giver, which is why it is also known as the Bower of Our Most Holy Lady. According to one tradition, the Mother of God herself picked out this location. Monasticism on the Holy Mountain goes back very many years and is the offshoot of the ancient monastic centers of Egypt and Palestine. Many great monks have lived the ascetic life on the Holy Mountain, among them Saint Petros the Athonite and others. Outstanding among the great Athonite fathers ...
