I am not a monk&#8211;but I have seen monks!&#8221; When some people told St. Sisoes that he had attained the same level of perfection as St. Anthony, Sisoes replied: &#8220;If only I had but a single thought as does Anthony, I would be all aflame.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prologue of Ohrid, January 28<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The absence of envy among the saints is a startling and wonderful phenomenon.
