John Cassian the Roman (about 360 - about 435) was a Christian monk and theologian, one of the founders of monasticism in Gaul, a prominent theoretician of monastic life.
He wrote 12 books "On the rules of communal monasteries" and 24 "Interviews" with Egyptian abbots on different concepts of moral Christian teaching.
He is glorified as a saint in the Orthodox Church.
Saint Arsenius was born into a noble Roman family at the beginning of the 4th century. The saint became so famous in the capital that when the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Theodosius the Great, asked the ruler of its western part, the emperor Gratian, to find a teacher for his sons, Gratian sent Arsenius to him. Saint Arsenius lived in the Skit desert for about 40 years. When the barbarians attacked the monks, the saint passed by them, but they did not see him. However, after the second invasion of the famous monastery, he had to flee to Mount Trogan, where he lived for ten years. Then, after a three-year stay in Kanop, Saint Arsenius returned to Trogan, where he died at the age of 95. From the memorable words of St. Arsenius, we will remind our students of the following: "As much as you can, try to make your inner occupation agree with God - and you will conquer external passions."
