Works of St John Cassian (Institutes, Conferences, On the Incarnation) · Saint John Cassian

A question how is it possible always to observe one and the same measure.

Cassian 2.49.1

Germanus: How then can we observe this measure without ever breaking it? for sometimes at the ninth hour when the Station fast is over, brethren come to see us and then we must either for their sakes add something to our fixed and customary portion, or certainly fail in that courtesy which we are told to show to everybody.
