A brother asked Abba Poemen concerning the thoughts which invaded his mind, and he said to him, 'This matter is like to that of a man who has a fire on his left hand, and a tank of water on his right hand ; if he wishes to extinguish the fire, he takes the water from the tank and does it, and it is right for a man to aft thus every hour. Now the fire is the evil thought, which comes from enemies, and the water is the pouring out of the soul before the Lord which a man should do.'
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"
