Today (March 30) the Church’s calendar includes a wonderful, eccentric commemoration: The Un-Judging Monk.
St. Anastasios of Sinai recorded the story of a negligent, barely pious monk who faced his impending death with joy. Asked why, he revealed that he had never judged anyone, and it had been revealed to him that, as Christ himself said (Mt. 7:1), he would not be judged.
The monk may have seemed lazy to his brothers, but experience shows that his achievement is perhaps the most difficult in the spiritual life.
