Abba Poemen used to say, ' An evil will is a wall of brass between a man and God ; but if a man would set it aside he must also say, ' By [the help of] my God I will leap over a wall ' (Psalm xviii, 29) God Whose way is without blemish but if that which is seemly lends help to the thought, a man is not easily turned aside.'
Q: "What does one learn in the
desert?"
Father Mina: "To have
an authentic sincere Love towards Christ"
Q: "What experience of God do we make here?"
Father Mina: "We make
the experience of the personal intimate friendship
with the person of the Lord Jesus-Christ... The
interior real lived sentiment of the intimacy with the
Lord: I Am with you."
Q: "Thank you"
Father Mina was
the first companion of Father Matta El-Maskine, one of
the first 7 hermits of the Saint Macarius Monastery. He
lives here in the manner of the first monks of the
desert.
