Saint Ephem the Syrian
(Doctor of the Church)
Ad instance: http://www.earlychurch.org.uk/ephraem.php
who know him?
who have read his books?
I love him.
He is nor in the tradition of the EC Greek Fathers nor he is a Latin Father: he is Syrian, near to the semitic ancient roots of our religion
He is over any legalistic or any rational explanations
His christianism is poetry of Love
And I find his spirituality so near to our devotion to the "Holy Heart" :o
Here some writing on line:
- The pearl (on the faith): http://www.voskrese.info/spl/pearl.html (in poetry)
