We are meant to think we are the worst of sinners are we not? St Anthony is known for his humility but do you think he may have thought he was the worst sinner? God revealed to him someone greater (?) than him.. St Paul the Hermit...
if I am right..

Okay so he believed St Paul the Hermit was better than him maybe but what about the other people? did he think he was better than them?


St Paul the Apostle maybe thought he was the worst of sinner.. but he said by the grace of God I am what I am... I laboured more abundantly than those other apostles.. or something..

Maybe he did not think he was the worst person after God helped him but before he knew Jesus..

So are we only to think that our sins in the past are worse than any other persons sins ? not that we are the worst now? but how can we think that? at the moment I do not think that my sins in the past are worse than many other peoples sins .. e.g St Moses the Black... (But he became a great Saint :) Praise God )

What do you think?

you may not of been able to follow me :(

I do not know if this is worthy of a post.. maybe I will delete it later or an Administrator or something..
