Venerable #JohnCassian, a Scythian monk, journeyed from the deserts of Egypt to the shores of Gaul, bridging East and West in the 5th century. His "Institutes" and "Conferences" became cornerstones of Western monasticism, shaping the Rule of St. Benedict. He battled against Nestorianism and Pelagianism, defending the Orthodox Christian faith. His teachings on prayer, virtue, and discernment continue to guide seekers today.
Holy Father John Cassian, pray to God for us!
