EVERGETINOS - THE THIRD BOOK HYPOTHESIS 21: That the Christian, even when deprived of life's necessities for his own benefit, should not straightforward become fainthearted, but should give thanks to the Lord and wait on Him and hope without hesitation that God, in His goodness, will unfailingly provide for him. As well, that it is shameful for an ascetic, who is a servant of God, to associate with worldly people and to ask for what he needs, even if he is burdened by indigence. A. From the Life of St. Theodosios the Coenobiarch B. From the Life of St. Savvas C. From St. Ephraim D. From Abba Isaiah E. From Abba Isaac F. From St. Maximos G. From the Gerontikon
