Words for Our Lives

<p><span style=color: rgba(21 27 38 1)>The twentieth-century elder Abba Matta of Egypt known in the West as Matthew the Poor is widely regarded as the greatest Egyptian elder since St. Antony the Great. This series constitutes the first appearance in English of a selection of the informal talks Abba Matta gave to his fellow monks and to visitors.
