wisdom for wednesday (15)
Today’s wisdom comes from Thomas Merton’s The Wisdom of the Desert. Two thoughts that seem to be rightly connected as they follow one another in Merton’s anthology.
Abbot Ammonas said that he had spent fourteen years in Scete praying to God day and night to be delivered from anger. (pg. 33)
Abbot Pastor said: The virtue of a monk is made manifest by temptations. (pg. 34)
Temptations by Michael D. O’Brien
