| Description: |
Desert Fathers were ordinary Christians who chose to renounce the world and lived lives of celibacy, fasting, vigil, prayer, and poverty in direct and simple response to the gospel. First recorded in the fourth century, their Sayings - consisting of spiritual advice, anecdotes, parables, and reflections on life - influenced the rule of St. Benedict, set the pattern for Western monasticism, and have inspired centuries of poetry, opera, and art. |
