meaning of being content?
Let’s Meet Aulogius
Hundreds of years ago,
there was a stone cutter
named Aulogius
Aulogius would cut
large pieces of stone into
smaller parts so they can
be used to build.
Let’s Meet Aulogius
He was a very poor man
who worked long hours just
to meet his necessities. He
made one denarii a day
(About $2/day)
Although he was poor, He
loved the poor and the
strangers and he used to take
them in, wash their feet, and
give them from what he has.
A Life Changing visit
One day, Saint Daniel the
hegumen (priest) visited
Aulogius.
Aulogius took him in,
washed his feet, gave him
food, and let him stay over at
his house.
A Life Changing visit
Saint Daniel was very
pleased with Aulogius and
he prayed to the Lord for
three weeks so that God
would give Aulogius a lot of
money.
The Lord answered St.
Daniel’s prayers and
Aulogius found a treasure as
he was cutting stones.
Rich Aulogius
Aulogius moved to
Constantinople (Istanbul).
He became friends with
only rich people.
He lived only for himself
and stopped giving the poor.
Rich Aulogius
When St. Daniel
heard of this, he
became sorry for what
he asked of God and
prayed that Aulogius
would return to his love
for the poor.
Aulogius Loses His Wealth
Aulogius was robbed and
lost all his money and
belongings.
When he became poor
again, he realized the
importance of being close
to God and giving to His
brethren.
Life With Christ
As children of God, we need
to thank him for ALL we
have.
We should share what we
have with our friends,
relatives, or even people we
do not know.
Life With Christ
Let’s be content with what
we have and not ask more,
but rather ask God to help
us to grow with him.
"But seek first the
kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these
things shall be added to
you.” Mt 6:33
