Possessions that don’t own us
Abbot Agatho frequently admonished his disciples, saying: Never acquire for yourself anything that you might hesitate to give to your brother if he asked you for it, for thus you would be found a transgressor of God’s commandment. If anyone asks, give to him, and if anyone wants to borrow from you, do not turn away from him.
