St. Syncletica of Alexandria

Amma Syncletica said, "There are many who live in the mountains and behave as if they were in the town, and they are wasting their time. It is possible to be a solitary in one's mind while living in a crowd, and it is possible for one who is a solitary to live in the crowd of his own thoughts."

I recently made St. Syncletica casserole, from the Monastery Cookbook. Yummy. :)
