A Path in the Wilderness

Discover a new path through Lent with the timeless spiritual wisdom from the earliest monks who went into the desert to pray and serve the Lord. Their ascetic lives are a source of wisdom for us today. Christianity is most effectively passed on person-to-person. And so the Fathers and Mothers of the desert would offer a “word”—a pointed piece of advice to help seekers grow stronger in their walk with Christ. These sayings from these spiritual masters had a remarkable influence on the spiritual life of the Christian church into the Middle Ages and to the modern day. Their spirituality, prayer and simplicity of life remain a gift to the Church. Let this devotional booklet inspire your own Lenten journey.
