Description
Dorotheus of Gaza (d. 565), was a Christian monk and the abbot of a monastery. In Gaza he joined a monastery and was influenced by his elders Barsanuphius and John. Around 540 he founded his own monastery nearby. There as the abbot he wrote a number of discourses to help the monks under his authority. These included such topics as "the fear of God", "humility", and "not judging your neighbor." A large number have survived and have been translated into a number of Eastern languages from the original Greek. Dorotheus is recognized as a saint in Catholic and Orthodox churches.
