Episode 52: The World in a Ray of Sun
In the dark of night, while the monastery slept, St. Benedict kept vigil.
Standing at his window, he watched a light descend from heaven, brighter than the day itself.
And in that light, he saw something extraordinary.
For our final episode of Desert Fathers with Bishop Erik Varden, we stand with St. Benedict in this holy moment.
It’s been a blessing to walk on this journey with you.
