A Story of Saint Moses the Black (St Moses the Ethiopian)

A brother at Scetis committed a fault. A council was called to which Abba Moses was invited, but he refused to go to it. Then the priest sent someone to say to him, ‘Come, for everyone is waiting for you.’ So he got up and went. He took a leaking jug, filled it with water and carried it with him. (Some versions of the story say he carried a leaking bag of sand.) The others came out to meet him and said to him, ‘What is this, Father?’ The old man said to them, ‘My sins run out behind me, and I do not see them, and today I am coming to judge the errors of another.’ When they heard that they said no more to the brother but forgave him.

"If we live, we shall live for the Lord. If we die, we shall die in the Lord and inherit eternal life." +Martyr Eustratius of the Kiev Near Caves

O Lord Jesus Christ, inscribe me Thy servant in the Book of Life, and grant me a good end.

Lord have mercy! orthodoxchristian.com/139936.html

That the whole evening may be perfect, holy, peaceful, and sinless, let us ask of the Lord. Grant this, O Lord!

And when from the depths you did raise the dead, all the powers of heaven cried out: O Giver of Life, Christ our God, glory to you!

Be my soul's helper, O God, for I pass through the midst of many snares; deliver me out of them and save me, O Good One, for Thou art the Lover of mankind.

-The Sayings of the Desert Fathers

Do not fatigue, no matter how many times you return the mind that ran away during the prayer "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.” God will see your disposition and work and will send His grace that will gather your mind. - Elder Ephraim of Arizona
