Skellig, Ireland
“ABBOTÂ Antony pointed out to a brother a stone and said to him, ‘Revile that stone, and beat it soundly.’
“When he had done so, Antony said, ‘Did the stone say anything?’
“He answered, ‘No.’
“Then said Antony, ‘Unto this perfection shalt thou one day come.'”
[Sayings of the Saints of the Desert, Cardinal John Henry Newman, St. Athanasius Press, 2017]
