“For if we do not have this, all else is nothing”: A letter by St. Theophan the Recluse discovered

The letter is authentic and written by the holy hierarch’s hand. The piece of paper yellowed with age and folded in half into a small envelope has been preserved to our time since 1888.

“I have seen a holy man.” On the Repose Day of Archimandrite John (Krestiankin)

Olga Rozhneva

The priest’s whole life turned around after meeting the elder. Fr. Savvatty came up to him and felt that he had no words, nothing to ask. He wanted just to stand next to him and feel the love radiating from this man. It was like a heavenly force coming from his soul. Fr. John poured out this heavenly love over everyone around him, and at first he couldn’t understand: How could Fr. John love everyone?

Living God’s Word

Fr. Silouan Benedict

The Word of God acts gently within your soul. God transforms us through his word, so it is very necessary to allow the Word of God to sink into you. And the right interpretation of the Word of God has to sink within you, not the word of God spoken by heretics and schismatics. The Orthodox Church helps you to know the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth.
