Today we celebrate the Righteous Amma Sarah of the Desert. Saint Sarah is known to us only through the writings of the Desert Fathers. All we know about her life is that she lived near the Nile River in great asceticism, battling the demon of fornication day and night. Because of her humility, she believed herself unworthy to even look up to heaven, spending her life bowed down to the ground. May she intercede for us always + #saint #sarah #sarahofthedesert #amma #ammasarah #desert #nile #nileriver #nun #monastic #ascetic #asceticism #humility #humble #desertfathers #desertmothers #quotes #sayingsofthedesertfathers #love #prayer #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Nile River) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf7XoalPSyn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Abba Anthony

“It was revealed to Abba Anthony in his desert that there was one who was his equal in the city. He was a doctor by profession, and whatever he had beyond his needs he gave to the poor, and every day he sang the Sanctus with the angels.”
