The Reflections of Abba Zosimas
Monk of the Palestinian Desert Spiritual Being
Translated by John Chryssavgis
Translated for the first time into English, these Reflections present with great simplicity the day to day teaching and example of one of the great sixth-century eremitical Fathers of the Palestinian desert. For Zosimas, obedience to the Gospel implies a radical disposition of love for neighbor in thought, word, and action, and is the key to freedom and joy.
