Your Monastic Cell Will Teach You – Christine Valters Paintner 

“The early desert monks would say, ‘Go, sit in your cell, and your cell will teach you everything.’ The cell is both an internal and external place. We carry our monastic cell with us everywhere we go. It is a symbol for the place within our hearts where we wrestle with our inner struggles and encounter God’s presence in the midst of the wrestling.”
— Christine Valters Paintner, PhD Illuminating the Way: Embracing the Wisdom of Monks and Mystics
