Humor and Satire

Duhovitost duhovnih: Zgode pustinjskih otaca

Monah Dorotej

Today, both in the Church and in the world, we encounter many serious, worried, and thoughtful faces; there is too little cheerfulness, smiles, humor, and joy. This says a lot about us and our times.

The jokes, anecdotes and sayings of the desert fathers collected in this book are the best combination of nature and the supernatural, and an example of the simplicity of life. In this sense, the wit of the spiritual can serve as a "therapy" that will restore our cheerfulness, smile and joy, and help us free ourselves from fear and anxiety.
