“A saint of the desert once found his hut being looted of its paltry
possessions, and he knelt in the corner praying for the bandits. When
they left, the monk realized they had not taken his walking stick. This
monk pursued them for many days until he was able to give them the stick
as well. Seeing his humility, the bandits returned everything to him and
were converted to Jesus Christ.”
~Jack Sparks (from The Orthodox Study Bible: Notes (p. 1276). Thomas Nelson)
