Description
The Most Reverend, having secluded himself in the Vyshensky hermitage where he spent 28 years, never interrupted his spiritual connection with the world. From all corners of Russia letters were sent to the bishop-hermit. From the replies to letters from different people, over time the saint Theophan compiled and published collections under various titles, including the proposed collection “Letters on Christian Life.”
In this book, the Most Reverend answers a wide variety of questions that troubled his correspondents. How to live by God’s will, how to fight one’s passions, how to correct a sinful life, how to avoid temptations and various temptations, how to pray, how to prepare for Confession and Holy Communion, which books to read, how to choose friends, how to treat entertainments, how to be saved while living in the world? This is only a small list of questions to which the God-wise archpastor provides thorough and heartfelt explanations, taking into account the writer’s spiritual state, moral and social position.
Written advice and guidance from the Vyshensky hermit strengthened spiritual zeal in his recipients and contributed to knowledge of God and the desire for salvation. And today, the fatherly counsel of Saint Theophan helps us in our spiritual growth.
