He sayings of the desert fathers the alphabetical collection
The Sayings of the Desert Fathers is a collection of wisdom and teachings from early Christian monks and ascetics who lived in the deserts of Egypt, Palestine, and Syria in the 4th and 5th centuries. The collection is not organized alphabetically, but here are a few sayings from the Desert Fathers that are often quoted:
1. "Abba Poemen said, 'Do not give your heart to that which does not satisfy your heart.'"
2. "Abba Anthony said, 'I saw the snares that the enemy spreads out over the world and I said groaning, 'What can get through from such snares?' Then I heard a voice saying to me, 'Humility.'"
3. "Abba Agathon said, 'I have never gone to sleep with a grudge against anyone, and so I have never woken up with a grudge against anyone.'"
4. "Abba Poemen said, 'As a bodyguard is always standing by to protect the Emperor, so the fear of God should always be with us to preserve us from sin.'"
These sayings reflect the wisdom, humility, and spiritual insight of the Desert Fathers, who sought to live lives of prayer, asceticism, and devotion to God in the solitude of the desert.
