Additional quotes by Hyperechios

The life of a monk should emulate that of an angel, a life that destroys sin with conflagration of flame.
The life of a monk is a whole burnt offering for those who repent.

Εὐχομένου μοναχοῦ καθαρῶϛ ἐν νυκτεριναῖϛ εὐχῆϛ.
Ἐν ἡμέρᾳ δὲ τοῦτο λαμπρύνει Κύριοϛ καὶ ὡϛ ἡμέραν καθαρὰν ἀναδείξει.

Φάοϛ καθαρὸν ἐπὶ γῆϛ μοναχὸϛ ἀπαθήϛ, πὰρ’ ᾧ οὐχ εὑρέθη ϕιλαργυρία.
“Φιλαργυρία γὰρ πάντων κακῶν ῥίζα,” ἤ οὐ τίκτει καρπὸν ἀγαθόν ποτε.
