Episode 32: "Alone with the Alone" - Mary Kloska Speaks on Living Radical Solitude as a Desert Dweller (November 8, 2020)

In this episode of The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love, Catholic missionary and evangelist Mary Kloska speaks about the radical call that God gives to some souls to leave absolutely everyone and everything in this world to dwell 'Alone with the Alone.' She touches on the call to the hermit life that we are familiar with in the West, but also introduces us to very unique souls of the Orthodox faith who often went into the wilderness to dwell alone with God. These very devoted souls show to us how a simple life devoid of worldly cares and focused solely on God can greatly glorify Him and be a shining light to people left in the world. Mary particularly speaks about 'Maria of Olonets' -who lived in the Northern Forests of Russia, 'Anastasia' -also from that region, Fr. Zosima -a desert dweller from Siberia and St. Mary of Egypt. Through this podcast the listener is encouraged to find their own little space and time of solitude in the midst of their busy lives to hear the 'still small voice' of God. (November 8, 2020)
