In this conversation, we dwell on the saying of the desert mother Amma Theodora, who says:
"Let us strive to enter by the narrow gate. Just as the trees, if they have not stood before the winter's storms cannot bear fruit, so it is with us; this present age is a storm and it is only through many trials and temptations that we can obtain an inheritance in the kingdom of heaven."

In this first conversation, we dwell on the saying of Abba Moses where he tells a young monk seeking wisdom, "Go and sit in your cell, your cell will teach you everything."

This time we explore how Oscar Romero can help us consider the possibility that Jesus is still very much present in the daily realities of our time and place, and if we can't see this, it might just be that we're not looking in the right places.

This time we look at how St. Oscar Romero allows us to think of something like simple human words actually speaking of a transcendent God, and how this also shows not just preacher, but all Christians how to do the work of speaking of God without engaging in manipulation.
