One day, his Eminence, the Archbishop came to visit the monastery in the town of Scetis. The brethren monks were in a hubbub because they all wanted to make a good impression. They wanted his Eminence to understand their piety. In the monastery, the oldest monk was simple Father Pambo. He was wrinkled and bent from ages of service to his fellow brothers. When all the monks and novices assembled to greet and welcome his Eminence, an excited novice turned to his mentor and urged him, “Father Pambo, say something to the Archbishop, so that he may be informed and enlightened about us.” Father Pambo gave his novice a wrinkled smile and said, “If he is not edified by my silence, he will not be edified by my speech.”
