   "A certain brother committed an offence in Scete, the camp of the monks,   
   and when a congregation was assembled on this matter, they sent after Abba   
   Moses, but he refused to come; then they sent the priest of the church to   
   him, saying, "Come, for all the people are expecting you," and he rose up   
   and came. He took a basket with a hole in it and filled it with sand, and   
   carried it upon his shoulders, and those who went out to meet him said unto   
   him, "What does this mean, O father" And he said to them, "The sands are my   
   sins which are running down behind me and I cannot see them, and, even,   
   have come to this day to judge shortcomings which are not mine." And when   
   they heard this they set free that brother and said nothing further to   
   him."

   "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."  1 Corinthians 1:31
