How did Monasticism come to be? by Fr. Anthony Mourad

About this sermon

How did Monasticism come to be? In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, One God, Amen. Take a look at history and how the Church was undergoing major persecution in the late 3rd century and the early 4th century under the roman empire. Emphasize that the church was willingly offering her children up as a living sacrifices and martyrs because of their Love for God. (what the church calls RED MARTYRDOM) Explain the shift that happened in 313 when Christianity was now tolerated in the empire and how persecution began to die down.
