Episode 115 - The Spirituality of the Desert Fathers - English 🇬🇧
Update: 2025-06-07
Description
This week, by listener request, join Fr. Barouyr for a discussion about the Desert Fathers. Fr. Barouyr sets the stage by recounting the modern day history behind the founding of St. Anthony’s Monastery, in the Arizona desert, and the miraculous discover of water running beneath it. He delves into the history behind the Desert Fathers, as well as their spiritual motivations behind withdrawing to the desert. The desert served as a spiritual laboratory, a fertile ground for encountering God. Christ also withdrew to the desert. The silence and emptiness allow our souls to experience the Psalmist’s line, “be still, and know that I am God.” Further, they reinforce that even in barren places, God brings living water.
