Born in Roman Scythia (modern-day Romania), John Cassian traveled to the Egyptian desert to learn from the Desert Fathers. He brought their wisdom back to the West, founding monasteries in Gaul. His writings, like the "Institutes" and "Conferences," outlined the monastic life and combated theological errors, emphasizing the balance between grace and free will.
O Venerable #JohnCassian, intercede for us, that we may find the path to spiritual balance and unwavering faith. #Prayer #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Romania #Monasticism
