The Communion of Saints: Desert Mothers and Fathers

From the very beginning of The Practice, we have always
appreciated the important lessons we can learn from various
Christian traditions throughout the history of the Church. This
summer, we will spend time learning about our sisters and
brothers, some you may know and others you may not. We hope to
not only learn about them, but also to listen to what they might
have to teach us in this day and age.  


This week, we looked to the Desert Mothers and Fathers. There are
remarkable similarities between our culture today and the culture
of the fourth century. What word of wisdom might these wonderful
saints offer to us in this day and age? What can we learn from
their resistance to being carried along by cultural currents?
What if God is inviting us to be a little weird, to flee from
power, comfort, and significance, and to do it all for the sake
of love?
