Pleasing God
Someone asked Abba Anthony [the founder of Eastern monasticism], "What must one do in order to please God?" The old man replied, "Pay attention to [these three things]: whoever you may be, always have God before your eyes whatever you do; do it according to the testimony of the holy Scriptures; in whatever place you live, do not easily leave it."
