To fulfil God’s commandments daily in one’s deeds.
To love chastity.
To hate no man.
Not to be jealous.
Not to give way to envy.
Not to love contention.
To shun vainglory.
To reverence the seniors.
To love the juniors.
To pray for one’s enemies in the love of Christ.
To make peace with one’s adversary before sundown.
And never to despair of God’s mercy.
Behold these are the tools of the spiritual craft. If we employ
them unceasingly day and night, and on the Day of Judgement render
account of them, then we shall receive from the Lord in return the
reward which he himself has promised: Eye hath not seen nor ear
heard, what God hath prepared for those that love him.¹ Now the
workshop, wherein we shall diligently execute all these tasks, is the
enclosure of the monastery and stability in the community.
