Poemen, Abba

[Gregory Myron]

Does anyone have any information on Abba Peomen? He was mentioned to me today, but I don't know anything about him, except that he's one of the desert fathers,

Thanks,
Gregory

Gregory,
Here is a bit on St Poemen from the OCA site.

Poemen the Great (http://www.oca.org/pages/orth_chri/Feasts-and-Saints/August/Aug-27.html)

[M.C. Steenberg]

Abba Poemen has left us, in my own opinion, some of the most potent of the sayings of the Desert Fathers. His was a singularly beautiful intimacy with God.

A few of his sayings are gathered here (http://www.monachos.net/monasticism/desert_fathers.shtml#poemen).
