Humility and a sober estimation of ourselves:
A sentence from a Desert Father:The devil,
transformed into an angel of light,
appeared to one of the brethren
and said to him:
"I am the Archangel Gabriel,
and I have been sent to you."
The brother replied:
"Make sure that you have not been sent
to some other brother.
As for me,
I am absolutely unworthy of such a thing."
At once the devil disappeared.
