A conversation between four Benedictine monks on the Desert Fathers, their lives, and their sayings. Covering a wide range of topics in the spiritual life taken from the Desert Fathers, the brothers reflect on the early monastic teaching and its import for our lives today.
In this episode, the brothers focus on a couple of sayings of Abba Anthony that have to do with the strength of our fathers in the faith, and how we often can seem so weak. But don't despair! In our weakness God comes to our aid. So, at the same time, they consider how the great lesson that our fathers have to teach us is truly the mercy of God.
