St. Macarius Monastery. Wadi Natrun, Egypt
Father Zeno and I spoke for quite a while tonight. I asked him about the path to wisdom.
“Remember that you are nothing,” he said. “And remember that you are everything—bought as precious by Christ. And if you’re everything, so are others; you are to love them, embrace them. You will find yourself in them, and you will find them in you. Love is the path to wisdom. When you are nothing, you have nothing and need nothing and you are free to live in love.”
