Saturday of Lent II - Remembrance

Written By Brian Suntken

Once a brother in Scete was found guilty, and the older brothers came in assembly and sent to the Abbot Moses , asking him to come: but he would not. Then the priest sent to him, saying: “Come, for the assembly of brothers awaits.” And he rose up and came. But taking with him a very old basket, he filled it with sand and carried it behind him. And they went out to meet him, asking, “Father, what is this?” And the old man said to them, “My sins are running behind me and I do not see them, and I am come today to judge the sins of another.” And they heard him, and said naught to the brother, but forgave him.

It’s my sixtieth trip around the sun this year. I share some wisdom, some photography, some poetry and prayers for the journey ahead.
