YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In the early centuries of the church, countless men and women fled the comforts of cities to live ascetic lives in the desert. There, the Desert Fathers and Mothers waged war against sin, the flesh, and the Devil. In this video, I look at the life of one of the greatest Desert Fathers, Abba Macarius to see how he came out of battle with the Devil victorious.
