And again on another occasion certain first-fruits of wine were sent that it might be given to the brothers cup by cup, (i.e., a cup each). And one of the brothers went up to a roof, that he might escape from drinking, and it parted asunder beneath him, and he fell through it; and when the sound came [to the brothers] they went and found him lying [on the ground], and they began to think about him, and said, 'O lover of vainglory, this has befallen you rightly.' And an old man laid him out, saying to them, ' Forgive you my son, for he has done a good work. And, as the Lord lives, this breach will not be built up in my days, for all the world will know that because of a cup of wine a schism has taken place in Scete.'

  • The Quies SBPCLC 5 steps commitment to the 11 guidelines is founded in sanctifying grace, which is the Life in us of the Most Holy Trinity
  • Quies is the fruit of being continually in the Presence, Love and  Will of God, living with and in the personal intimate friendship with the person of the Lord Jesus-Christ, a grace we personally and collectively aspire and feel called to fulfill as lay faithful, essentially guided by Saint Bruno's desert fathers spirituality: being with Christ.

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.
