Holy Bishopric of MorphouMetropolitan Neophytos of MorphouEditions Theomorphou - Nicosia 2024 https://www.immorfou.org.cy“Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.”  — Psalm 19:4Book available for purchase: https://uncutmountainpress.com/products/without-being-crucified"The time has come when everything will be humbled... they will be humbled so they can be crucified, to be resurrected and glorified again in Orthodox manner in all the earth. Since we don't have an "ethnic or national" God, but the Trinitarian God, the God of the entire world, Who wants the apostolic faith of the Orthodox to try the faith or lack thereof of all of us -leaders and populace- in our days. Because Christ needs His own people now, to create "the new crew of His ship", as St Porphyrios the Kafsokalyvia used to say. What is the ship of Christ? It's the Orthodox Church. That is the ship of Christ. And Christ has decided to clear the crew of His ship, which is not only you simple Christians, but the priests, the bishops, the patriarchs, and the civil authorities. Now we will all take exams. Let us, with the Holy Spirit -the Spirit of Truth- struggle to cleanse ourselves through repentance, to pass from the unnatural to the natural, and to reach the supernatural, which our Orthodox Church wants to give us -and not only to us but to every well-intentioned person, European or not. Because the one and only truth of the Orthodox faith is that which frees man from sin, from deception, from death, and from the devil... And because we love the man but not the sin, we love Europe more than people realize! Freedom from sin and the atheism of Europe will help the whole world; and this will come through the brightness of Orthodoxy which will come after the events -the painful and pedagogical events- that we're living through and will live through."+Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou

This spiritual classic has brought inspiration and edification to every generation since that time. Read every year during Great Lent in monastic refectories, this book has been treasured by both monastics and laymen.

In 1983 a complete manuscript of the second part of The Ascetical Homilies of Saint Isaac the Syrian, hitherto only partially known, was discovered in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and Chapters 4-41 of these new texts are edited and translated here for the first time by Sebastian Brock.

The Life of Saint Symeon the New TheologianWritten by: Niketas Stetatos Dumbarton Oaks Medieval LibraryHarvard University PressCambridge, Massachusetts Book available for purchase:https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674057982Telegram episode:https://t.me/athoniteaudio/7644The Life was written more than thirty years after Symeon’s death by his disciple and apologist the theologian Niketas Stethatos, who also edited all of Symeon’s spiritual writings. An unusually valuable piece of Byzantine hagiography, it not only presents compelling descriptions of Symeon’s visions, mystical inspiration, and role as a monastic founder, but also provides vivid glimpses into the often bitter and unpleasantly conflicted politics of monasticism and the construction of sanctity and orthodoxy at the zenith of the medieval Byzantine Empire. Although the many volumes of Symeon’s spiritual writings are now readily available in English, the present translation makes the Life accessible to English readers for the first time. It is based on an authoritative edition of the Greek.
