Oblate Program at Belmont Abbey, NC

No one knew about it

macarius_webAbba Peter said this about the holy Macarius: One day he came to the cell of an anchorite who happened to be ill, and asked him if he would take something to eat, though the cell was stripped bare. When the other replied, “Some sherbet,” that courageous man did not hesitate, but went as far as Alexandria to fetch some for the sick man. The astonishing thing is that no one knew about it.
