This week we reflect on the following saying from Abba Lot: “Abba Lot went to see Abba Joseph and said to him, “Abba, as far as I can say, I do my little office, I read my psalms, I fast a little bit, I pray and I meditate, I live in peace with others as far as I can, I purify my thoughts. Tell me, Father, what else, what more can I do?” Then the old man, Abba Joseph, stood up, stretched out his hands toward heaven, and his fingers became like ten lamps of fire, and he said to him, “If you will, you can become all flame.” Support us on Patreon HERE! https://shemasd.org Script by Wilson Ryland and Kevin Portillo Original Score by Julius Obregon Jr.
