About two brothers, Titus the priest and Evagrius the deacon, who were at enmity with each other (Kiev Caves Patericon)


There were two brothers in spirit, Evagrius the Deacon and Titus the Priest. They had a great and sincere love for each other, so that everyone marveled at their unanimity and boundless love. But the devil, who hates goodness and always roars like a lion, seeking someone to devour, sowed enmity between them, instilling such hatred in them that they refused to even look at each other. Many times the brothers begged them to be reconciled, but they would not listen.
