Daily Reflection for April 22, 2022

Another time, two old men, great anchorites, came to the district of Pelusia to visit Sarah. When they arrived one said to the other, “Let us humiliate this old woman.” So they said to her, “Be careful not to become conceited thinking to yourself: “Look how anchorites are coming to see me, a mere woman.” But Amma Sarah said to them, “According to nature I am a woman, but not according to my thoughts.”

We might say today, “It is better not to judge a book by it”s cover.” Truly Sarah had gained more insight into the ways of God than had her male counterparts.
