St. Maximos' Hut

St. MAXimos
Kudos for selecting St. Maximos as patron of this blog. His very name -- MAXimos -- suggests that he should be the patron saint of neoclassical economists.

Whenever I learn about a saint, I like to offer a brief prayer asking for his or her intercession. My prayer to Maximos went something like this: "Please pray for me that I, like you, not become too attached to my material possessions." Ironically, this prayer came to me a couple of days ago ... while I was washing my car (which has served me well for seventeen years).
