Fr Macarius\' service was distinguished with humility and utmost simplicity.
This book, by no coincidence, begins with the first sermon Fr Macarius delivered as a priest titled "Let not your heart be troubled" and his final sermon before his passing titled, "Lazarus, come forth"..
His Spiritual advice was simple and practical because he was both of those things.
It was his solemn silence that attracted people to his wisdom, love, and Christ-like eminence. "Always breathe Christ" were the Words of Abba Antony that inspired Fr Macarius\' homiletical approach.
He preferred to hide behind the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He never sought worldly glory, rather, he avoided the limelight and always chose the lowliest place.
He was always content, preferring not to impose his opinion on anyone.
He was the type of servant who made you feel at ease.
