Book available for purchase: https://www.ctosonline.org/patristic/EvCT.html Listener Support: buymeacoffee.com/athoniteaudio Current Projects: https://t.me/athoniteaudio Episode Contents: HYPOTHESIS 41: That for those who are not prepared, it is perilous to live alone.HYPOTHESIS 42: That we should not gainsay anyone in a contentious manner even regarding those things that are considered good, but should be subject to our neighbor in everything.HYPOTHESIS 43: That whatever happens, happens by the justice of God; for this reason, the believer must always follow Divine Providence and must seek, not his own will, but the Will of God; for he who does or accepts all things in this manner has spiritual rest.HYPOTHESIS 44: That humility is completely impregnable to demons, how humility is gendered, and what its power is; that humility, more than all the other virtues, is able, by itself, to save a man.HYPOTHESIS 45: A distinctive mark of the humble man is that he blames and disparages himself and thinks that his good deeds, howsoever many and whatsoever they may be, amount to nothing; what the characteristic traits of humility are, and what are its fruits.HYPOTHESIS 46: Concerning what profit there is in reproaching ourselves.HYPOTHESIS 47: That we should not seek honor or desire privileges; for whatever men reckoned to be honorable is an abomination to God.HYPOTHESIS 48: That to appear to be humble, when this is done inopportunely or excessively, is not beneficial, but harmful; how we ought to act towards those who praise us, and that praise does no harm at all to one who is attentive.HYPOTHESIS 49: Concerning how one should use clothing, what kind, and up to what point, in order to cover the body, and how the Fathers love frugality, and their very dress; the faithful should prefer frugality and every circumstance.HYPOTHESIS 50: That we should not do anything to gratify ourselves or do anything out of a passionate craving.

Book available for purchase: https://www.ctosonline.org/patristic/EvCT.html Episode contents: HYPOTHESIS 31: One who has come to the ascetic life should only be closed in monastic garb after he has been sufficiently trained in the virtues; the monastic schema is honorable, soul-profiting, and salvific.HYPOTHESIS 32: The faithful monk should display a manner of life that is appropriate to his schema; for he does not live in conformity with his schema is not faithful; likewise, a Godly old age is not characterized by length of time, but by the way in which a man lives.HYPOTHESIS 33: The faithful monk should eagerly accept whatever his spiritual Father suggests to him, because all such suggestions are in his interest, even if they induce distress or are arduous; for mercy is given by God for this purpose, and for the alleviation of afflictions.HYPOTHESIS 34: We should be obedient to our superiors in the Lord, even unto death, and love and fear them.HYPOTHESIS 35: We should be subject in simplicity to our superiors in the Lord and accept their orders as coming from God, without criticizing, examining, or correcting them, even if they do not seem for the time being to be a benefit.HYPOTHESIS 36: What the sins of disobedience and grumbling against our teachers in the Lord are; the Christian should not object at all or justify himself, but should in all cases resist his own will and love reproof, not avoid it.HYPOTHESIS 37: One should not condemn his teacher, even if his teacher does some things at variance with what he teaches; for many disciples have trusted themselves to negligent teachers and, not having condemned them, but remaining subject to them in the Lord, have saved themselves and have become the cause of their teachers’ salvation.HYPOTHESIS 38: How the Grace of God often teaches those who watch over themselves and entrust themselves to His Providence what they ought to do through simple people and strangers; the humble do not refuse to learn from anyone they may encounter.HYPOTHESIS 39: The faithful Christian should not be confident in himself, but should believe that through his spiritual Father he is both saved and enabled to do everything good; and he should invoke the prayers of his Elder, for they have great power.HYPOTHESIS 40: That one should not lightly go out of, or withdraw from, the monastery which he has promised, in the sight of God, to remain until the end of his life; for the Fathers did not even go out of their cells, in which they found great benefit.
