Thanks! I don't believe so about Abraham. Ephraim was one of the 12 patriarchs so he would have been Abraham's great grandson. I also think it has a different Hebrew root. Even today Efren is quite a popular name in the Hispanic countries.
Thank you, Peter. I had never heard of St. Ephrem before. His words are beautiful, calling one to contemplation of eternal truths. I really enjoyed this post.
Thank you for your kind words, Frances. One thing I like to do with Sacred Windows is to open the treasure chest of grace that is the Catholic Tradition and make it available to people. I'm glad you found it helpful! All the best. PD
You send us such beautiful stories. If I am not mistaken , Ephrem is another way of saying ABRAHAM.
