about

"She (Amma Syncletica) also said, 'Here below we are not exempt from temptations. For Scripture says, "Let him who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall." (1 Cor. 10.12) We sail on in darkness. The psalmist calls our life a sea and the sea is either full of rocks, or very rough, or else it is calm. We are like those who sail on a calm sea, and seculars are like those on a rough sea. We always set our course by the sun of justice, but it can often happen that the secular is saved in tempest and darkness, for he keeps watch as he ought, while we go to the bottom through negligence, although we are on a calm sea, because we have let go of the guidance of justice.'"

Syncletica 25, The Sayings of the Desert Fathers. The Alphabetical Collection. Trans. Benedicta Ward. Cistercian Publications, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1975.

lyrics

We shall keep on sailing through the dark night
We set our sails by the Sun of Justice
We are like those who sail on a calm sea
We set our sails by the Sun of Justice

You will see
one day the Sun of Justice
will free us all from darkness
one day the Sun of Justice
will rise and prevail

Written by Lasse Lindgren, based on the teaching of Amma Syncletica
