Even before his Death, the Elder Continued to Resist Vanity

St. Theophan the Recluse (1815 - 1894)

Apophthegmata Patrum, as translated by St. Theophan the Recluse. Ch. 11.

110. Satan appeared before one holy man, at the very hour of his death, and said to him: "You have escaped me". The elder replied: "I do not know yet".

You see to what extent the fathers were vigilant, so as not to boast of any deed.
