Lisa Colón DeLay and I had so much fun talking all about the desert elders! (I admit, there was a time when that sentence wouldn’t have made sense to me, but today, I am all about learning more from our fore parents in the faith.) Even though our world and our lives look very different, Lisa reminds us that there is so much we can glean from our ancestors’ faith lives. From standing atop pillars to fasting to basket-weaving, their practices and pursuit of virtues provide much inspiration for our everyday spiritual lives.
