Additional quotes by Hyperechios

The one who is above fleshly desires will be found shining more brightly than snow.
Desiring Christ rather than gold, he will see Christ crowning him on the Day of Generosity.

Abba Hyperechios said: “Just as a lion is fearsome to the wild asses, so is the well-tried monk to lascivious logismoi.”

He also said: “The monk’s treasure is voluntary destitution; lay [it] up in heaven, brother, for the ages of repose are limitless.”
