Book excerpt: In this seven-day retreat, Thirsting for the Reign of God, your directors are the mothers and fathers of the desert, whose wisdom has come down to us through the ages. Jesus tells us that to find our lives we must lose them; the Desert Mystics took up this exhortation and lived it out radically. What desert mystics like Antony the Great, Abba Moses and Evagrius can teach us, if we are ready, is to confront our God on a most intimate level -- by confronting ourselves fiercely and fully.
