Anba Epiphanius and the Spirit of Saint Macarius - Markos El Makari - Bog

Someone asked Anba Epiphanius what had changed in him after the abbacy. He replied: The Lord gave me the spirit of Saint Macarius: I see people sin, and it is as if I did not see them.Anba Epiphanius was like Saint Macarius: a monk and a father of monks who made simplicity his daily compass, who refused to judge others, who always considered himself 'on the way, ' showing how mercy was an expression of théosis, while living as an eschatological being in anticipation of the parousía of Christ and the life of the world to come.
