5th December – Saint Sabbas
If we keep remembering the wrongs which men have done us, we destroy the power of the remembrance of God - Saint Sabbas
Few of us share Sabas’ yearning for a cave in the desert, but most of us sometimes resent the demands others place on our time. Sabas understands that. When at last he gained the solitude for which he yearned, a community immediately began to gather around him, and he was forced into a leadership role. He stands as a model of patient generosity for anyone whose time and energy are required by others—that is, for all of us. (Franciscan Media)
