| 15 Apr 2025 | Episode 16: The Monk and the Actress | 00:11:52 | |
🏜️ Welcome to Desert Fathers in a Year, Episode 16: The Monk and the Actress. Discover the profound story of Abba Pambo, a Desert Father, whose encounter with an actress in Alexandria reveals deep Christian compassion and humility. In this episode of Desert Fathers in a Year, we explore Pambo’s tears, sparked by the tragic loss of a soul and his own reflection on spiritual zeal. Learn how his relationship with St. Athanasius bridges the institutional and charismatic Church, and why his response to a "public sinner" offers a timeless pastoral model. We delve into themes of compunction, intercession, and speaking truth in love, inspired by the Desert Fathers’ wisdom. The blessed Athanasius entreated Abba Pambo to come down from the desert to Alexandria. Coming down, he saw an actress there, and began to weep. When those who were with him asked why he was weeping, he said: ‘Two things moved me. First, the loss of this woman. Secondly, the fact that I do not have such zeal to please God as she has to please shameless men’. Key Topics Covered:
Why Listen? This episode unpacks how Pambo’s story challenges us to embrace empathy and self-reflection in our faith. Perfect for listeners interested in Christian spirituality, Desert Fathers, compassion, humility, and early Church history. Join us for insights that resonate today.
