Read this book carefully to the brothers so that, when they learn about the faithful life of these outstanding monks, they may know that our Savior Jesus Christ glorifies those who glorify him. He grants nobility to those who serve him and who not only long for the kingdom of heaven but also wish to lead a life of withdrawal in remote mountain places. They do this so that they themselves might win praise for their virtues and so that others may be spurred on by their examples. But if it should prove necessary, read this also to the pagans so that they may in this way recognize that our Lord Jesus Christ is God, the Son of God. They will also recognize that he grants the power to trample upon and cast out demons, which the pagans consider gods, but who really deceive and corrupt, to those who worship him diligently and who believe faithfully in him.
