St. Anthony of the Kiev Caves: young monk Anthony was sent back to Russia from Mt Athos with instructions from his elder to ” be an example for others.” He was guided by the Lord to what would be come the cradle of monasticism in Russia: the Kiev caves. He didn’t find that location immediately but wandered for a while seeking God all the while. This is an example to us in life: pray and actively seek what God wants us to do and where He wants us to be. Great things can result.
