today's excerpt from The Way of Kindness:
ONce a brother committed a sin in Scetis, and the elders assembled and sent for Abba Moses. He, however, did not want to go. then the priest sent a message to him, saying: "come, everybody is waiting for you," so he finally got up to go and he took a worn-out basket with holes, filled it with sand, and carried it along. the people who came to meet him said: "what is this?" then the old man said: "my sins are running out behind me, yet I do not see them. and today I have come to judge the sins of someone else." when they heard this, they said nothing to the brother and pardoned him..
