Description

Many of us today know of the Philokalia, a compilation of mystical, ascetic texts from the ancient Christian tradition which contain teachings on unceasing prayer, interior silence, unseen warfare, and prayer of the heart. Few, then again, know of the spiritual Elder who found out these lost teachings after a painstaking search, and who devoted the remainder of his life to disseminating them, putting them into practice, and helping other spiritual seekers to attain union with God through them. This man was once Blessed Paisius Velichkovsky.

Having lived at the start of the modern age, Blessed Paisius has supplied us with a blueprint on how to live like the ancient holy ones even at the same time as in the course of the latest atmosphere of confusion, despair, and abandonment of the truth. Today his legacy–brought to The us by monks from the Russian monastery of Valaam, and preserved and cultivated through the eldership of Optina Monastery–is more timely and needed than ever before.
