St. Elias the Cave Dweller: Prayer and works


 He who works with his hands and prays in his heart becomes doubly rich because he serves Jesus present in the person of the poor like Martha and he attends to the sayings of the Word of God with his intellect, like Mary.
+St. Elias the Cave Dweller, quoted in his life in The Synaxarion, Volume 1, Entry for September 11.
