Saint Anthony the Great
Known as the father of monasticism, Saint Anthony was an Egyptian born in 250 to wealthy parents. After their death, he split his inheritance with his sister, gave his half to the poor and, at age 20, dedicated himself to the ascetic life. At first he lived near his village but soon withdrew into the wilderness, where he spent 20 years in isolation, seeking God through constant prayer and enduring unspeakable temptations from the enemy. Eventually, many disciples gathered around him and he guided them to salvation by his example and words. In 85 years of monastic life, only twice did he leave the desert and travel to Alexandria: once during the persecution in an attempt to join the martyrs, and once at the request of Saint Athanasius, in order to publicly condemn the Arian heresy. Though not a scholar, Anthony was a teacher and counselor of the most learned men of his time. Saint Anthony reposed in the Lord in the year 335 AD at the age of 105, leaving behind an army of disciples.

"Fear of torment is the way of a slave, desire of reward in the heavenly kingdom is the way of a hireling, but God's way is that of a son, through love."

“The beauty of woman is the greatest snare. Or rather, not the beauty of woman, but unchastened gazing! For we should not accuse the objects, but ourselves, and our own carelessness. Nor should we say, Let there be no women, but Let there be no adulteries. We should not say, Let there be no beauty, but Let there be no fornication. We should not say, Let there be no belly, but let there be no gluttony; for the belly makes not the gluttony, but our negligence. We should not say, that it is because of eating and drinking that all these evils exist; for it is not because of this, but because of our carelessness and insatiableness. Thus the devil neither ate nor drank, and yet he fell! Paul ate and drank, and ascended up to heaven!”
–St. John Chrysostom (+407)

There is nothing higher than what is called repentance and confession. The sacrament is the offering of God's love to mankind. In this perfect way a person is free of evil. We go and confess and we sense our reconciliation with God — Joy enters us and guilt departs. In the Orthodox Church there is no impasse.
