The Evergetinos: Book Three - Chapter V, Part II, VI, and VII, Part I
The Fathers are extraordinarily subtle here because they know that the human heart is subtle.
They refuse the comforting simplicity by which we divide the world into good people and bad people, good deeds and evil deeds, the righteous and the guilty. Not because such distinctions are meaningles ...
The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily XVIII, Part I
There is a temptation to read St. Isaac’s description of the ascetic life as though he were outlining a ladder by which we ascend to God through effort. Nothing could be further from his mind. The ascetical life is not an achievement but a preparation. It removes what clouds the eyes of the hear ...
The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily XVII, Part III
There is a temptation when reading the closing section of Homily 17 to see it as little more than a long list of prohibitions. Do not quarrel. Do not lie. Speak little. Avoid pride. Flee idle disputes. Endure injustice. Keep away from the powerful. Be moderate. At first glance, it can seem as th ...
The Evergetinos: Book Three - Chapter VIII, Part II & IX, Part I
The Fathers never speak of the spiritual life as though it were merely the acquisition of virtues or the mastery of disciplines. At its heart, it is the slow awakening of a human being who learns once again to see. The battlefield is not first the world around us but the hidden kingdom within us ...
The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily XVIII, Part II & XIX, Part I
There is a temptation in every generation to believe that the spiritual life consists primarily in learning new methods, acquiring hidden knowledge, or discovering techniques that promise quick access to God. St. Isaac the Syrian gently dismantles this illusion. When he speaks of the deeper form ...
The Evergetinos: Book Three - Chapter IX, Part II
There is a great mercy hidden within these unsettling sayings from the Evergetinos. The Desert Fathers do not speak to us about spiritual warfare in order to make us preoccupied with the devil. They speak about it so that we might become sober, humble, and utterly dependent upon Christ.
This is ...
The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily XIX, Part II
There is a danger in reading passages such as this one from St. Isaac and hearing primarily a warning: Do not become negligent. Do not allow yourself to grow lax. Guard your solitude. Avoid unnecessary conversation. Do not permit the mind to become scattered.
Certainly Isaac is warning us. His ...
The Evergetinos: Book Three - Chapter IX, Part IV
There is something almost frightening about the stories preserved for us in the Evergetinos. They are frightening not because they portray extraordinary wickedness, but because they reveal how quietly the heart can change.
The monk described by Palladios is not a beginner. He is a man of profou ...
The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily XX
There are passages in St. Isaac that can sound almost impossible to modern ears. His words on vigil are among them.
“Do not imagine,” he tells us, “that among all the works of monastics there is any practice greater than night vigil.”
We hear such words and immediately think of sleep deprivati ...
The Evergetinos: Book Three - Chapter IX, Part III
There is something almost relentless about the teaching of the Fathers on watchfulness. They will not allow us to imagine that there comes a point in the spiritual life when vigilance is no longer necessary. Age does not free us from it. Knowledge does not free us from it. Years of prayer do not ...
