Monk Andrew the Athonite
This blessed hermit avoided praise at all costs out of humility, according to the word of the Gospel: Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth (Mt. 6:3).
Looking at the victories, podvigs, and struggles of the monks of that time, set forth in various writings, we ask ourselves: Are there in these cruel times in which we live fathers who have succeeded in virtue, conducting their lives like these ancient monks and ascetics?
