"When Saint John The Short drew near his end, his disciples entreated him to leave them, by way of legacy, some wholesome lesson of Christian perfection. He sighed, and that he might, out of humility, shun the air of a teacher, alleging his own maxim and practice, he said, "I never followed my own will; nor did I ever teach any other what I had not first practiced myself." The Sayings of the Desert Fathers. "Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart." Jeremiah 24:7 Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
