Br. Peter Goyette, O.P., on Lessons from the Desert

"Nearly two thousand years ago, a young man wandered off into the Egyptian desert. Some thought he was crazy. But many others would soon follow in his stead. His name was Anthony, and those who likewise ventured off into the desert became known as the Desert Fathers. In the desert, these hermits and monks dedicated themselves to asceticism and prayer. 

"One of the fruits of their endeavor is The Sayings of the Desert Fathers, a piecemeal collection of their delightful and profound anecdotes. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Brother Peter Marie Goyette, O.P., reflected on some of these sayings and their implications.
