Episode notes

In the last days, he was a man of great peace. People came to him for advice. Monks and lay devotees alike. And it is said that when he, the day came for him to pass, he told his followers to carry him to a nearby church,. He received the Holy Communion and passed away quietly. So if I agree with a few stories we know about him, his passing was very, very, very peaceful.

"Do not pray for the fulfillment of your wishes, for they may not accord with the will of God. But pray as you have been taught, saying: Thy will be done in me (cf. Luke 22:42). Always entreat Him in this way - that His will be done. For He desires what is good and profitable for you, whereas you do not always ask for this." - Evagrius Ponticus. Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on Evagrius's teachings on prayer.
