Euprepius

Venerable Euprepius of Egypt was an Egyptian monk and ascetic who lived around the fourth century. Almost nothing is known of his life. His name has come down through the Sayings of the Desert Fathers, where his words are gathered.

In them he urges trust in God, who is faithful and mighty: whoever believes in Him will share in what is His, and despondency comes from unbelief. He also says that he who loves the world loves occasions of falling, so that the loss of something should be received with joy and gratitude, as a release from care. No fixed date of commemoration is recorded for him.
