Ancient Wisdom for Today: Three Stories from Desert Monks

Ancient Wisdom for Today: Gerald Sittser of Whitworth University tells three stories of early Christian monastics that show the relevance of ancient wisdom for today. First, from John Cassian's "Conferences" about a young monk who is battling the demon of lust for years, and an old monk who doesn't understand the intimate role of God in offering grace for growth. Second, the story of a boastful young monk who'd rather pray than work. Normal Christian life, we learn, includes both working and praying - both Martha and Mary. Finally, the story of Macarius of Egypt, who learns from two sisters about living for God everyday, right where we are. It's not about living in the desert or the city; rather, everything is spiritual.
