Lover of the Wilderness: Life and Teaching of Father Pimen of the Monastery of the Syrians

Fr. Pimen was a great monk, an ardent lover of the

wilderness, a good role model for monks, a teacher of

generations, who was long-suffering, patient, giving

thanks to God in the most difficult conditions of his

illness.

"The honor of the dead is his burial, and the honor of the

monk is not going out of his cell."

"No one can draw another person to Christ unless he

himself is completely in Christ."

-Fr. Pimen-
