## Resource

St. Moses the Black led a gang of bandits through Egypt before becoming one of the desert's holiest monks. Once the leader of a feared robber gang along the Nile, Moses found peace he'd never known when he took refuge in a monastery and stayed. His conversion wasn't easy — he wrestled with anger and pride for years — but he became one of the great teachers of the desert, known for radical humility about his own past even as a priest and elder. "My sins are running out behind me, and I have come to judge the sins of another?" ⭐Want to keep living St. Moses's story after the episode ends?
