Abba Agathon, monk

I have never gone to sleep with a grievance against anyone. And, as far as I could, I have never let anyone go to sleep with a grievance against me.-Abba Agathon, monk (4th/5th century) [from the Sayings of the Desert Fathers]

Good advice from a holy man. He was acting on the words of the New Testament: Eph 4:26 and, especially, Mt 5:23-26.
