John Cassian Quotes
[God] Arranged That The Boy Samuel Should Be Chosen But Instead Of Teaching Him Directly He Had Him, Turn Once Or Twice To An Old Man. This Youngster, To Whom He Had Granted A Direct Encounter With Himself, Had Nevertheless To Go For Instruction To Someone Who Had Offended God, And All Because That Person Was An Old Man. He Decided That Samuel Was Most Worthy Of A High Calling And Yet He Made Him Submit To The Guidance Of An Old Man So That Once Summoned To A Divine Ministry He Might Learn Humility And Might Himself Become For All The Young A Model Of Deference.
