Certain of the fathers used to tell a story about a holy man who was indeed a great man, and if people came to ask him a question he would say to them with wisdom, 'Behold, I take upon myself the face (or Person) of God, and I sit upon the throne of judgement; what now do you wish me to do for you? If you say, 'Have mercy upon me', God said to you, 'If you wish Me to have mercy upon you, you also must have mercy upon your brother, and then I will have mercy upon you ; and if you wish Me to forgive you, you also must forgive your brother, and then I will forgive you. ' Can any blame rest upon God? God forbid ! But the cause rests with us, and if we wish we are able to live. '
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.
