Don't Turn Your Back on God

Let no one say: "I am leaving the monastery because monks are not the only ones who can reach the kingdom of God; those outside the monastery also belong to God."

Those outside the monastery certainly belong to God; but they have not taken vows (common life and continence). You, however, have taken them, and now you are going back on them.

-- Commentary on Psalm 75, 16

Prayer. Keep your eyes fixed on the Lord, who guides you, and do not look back.

-- Commentary on Psalm 75, 16
