Pseudo-Macarius

Pseudo-Macarius refers to writings attributed to Macarius of Egypt, a renowned early Christian monk, but actually composed by an anonymous author or group of authors. These texts are part of a collection called the "Mystical Homilies" or "Egyptian Paterikon" and are valued for their spiritual teachings on prayer, humility, and divine grace. While they resemble Macarius's style, their true authorship remains uncertain. The works provide insight into early Christian monastic thought and emphasize inner purity, reliance on God's mercy, and the pursuit of spiritual transformation.
