Description
The Little Flower Garden: Scriptural and Patristic Passages Selected by Saint Paisios the Athonite (Greek)
Excerpt from the Preface:
Our Holy Father Paisios the Athonite, striving with zeal for the salvation of his soul and imitating the "wise bee," maintained a pious habit—primarily as a novice monk—of copying various excerpts from the Holy Scriptures and the patristic and ascetic books he studied, which he deemed useful for his spiritual struggle.
Initially, he would jot them down roughly. Later, as they accumulated, he copied them into a notebook, categorizing them by theme. When one notebook was full, he would transcribe them into another, larger one. Indeed, in this manner, by writing and rewriting the same passages, they became deeply imprinted in his memory, enabling him to engage in what he called "study without a book."
