“I can recall a conversation with one of my brothers some years back. He wondered about the hermits in the desert. He had an admiration for the asceticism of their lifestyle. His question, however, was, “But what is the value when no one knows they are there?” The truth is that God knows they are there. The devil knows they are there, and he trembles. And we all know they are there, whether it is a conscious knowing or not. For their prayers permeate us, and our prayers join with theirs as they rise before God.”
Excerpt From: Fr Stephen Freeman. “Everywhere Present.”
