He got up and followed. The old man (Abba Arsenius) said, "The excellences which are cultivated in the world, and to which our Lord, speaking in the Gospel, ascribed blessing, are lovingkindness, peace-making and the other commandments which are like unto them, and it is quite possible for such virtues to be cultivated in the world by certain strenuous persons.

Старец Паисий A characteristic example of the compassion of the Elder’s soul, while still a young man working in the carpenters’ workshop, was that, if anyone ordered a coffin for someone deceased, he always made one for free, sympathizing with the sorrow of the deceased’s family, and trying to ease their pain. Arsenius ardently wished to stay with Father Cyril forever, but -- as he himself said, -- unfortunately, there were some who did not permit a document (agreement) to be written for him for this cell. Those icons (the Crucifixion, the Theotokos, St. Arsenius of Cappadocia) he gave to pilgrims as a "blessing." That work also contributed its measure of tiredness to his exhausting program, especially when the icon was in the stage of being pressed and strong compression was necessary. fatheralexander.org /booklets/english/staretz_paisij_eznepidis_e.htm   (18725 words)

Saints of July 19 Nevertheless, modern hagiographers doubt that Arsenius was a deacon or had served as a tutor in Constantinople. He lived in the greatest austerity, refusing the legacy left him by a relative who was a senator, preferring the solitary life to a life of luxury. Ancient writers emphasize the Arsenius had the 'gift of tears' in a surprising degree--his handkerchief (sudarium) was always handy--and his self-depreciation sometimes seems excessive. www.saintpatrickdc.org /ss/0719.htm   (2231 words)
