https://t.me/athoniteaudio/6270 The Archimandrite Aimilianos of Simonopetra is one of the most renowned elders of modern Greece.  The works collected in the present volume reflect the importance which the Elder consistently attached to prayer, spirituality, community life, worship, and liturgy.  The experientally based works "On Prayer" and "The Prayer of the Holy Mountain"' which deal primarily with the Prayer of the Heart, appear first, followed by the addresses "The Divine Liturgy" and "Our Church Attendance."  These are in turn followed by the more socially oriented discourses "Our Relations with Our Neighbor" and "Marriage:  The Great Sacrament."  Finally, this volume closes with the sermons "Spiritual Reading" and "The Spiritual Life", which in a simple and yet compelling manner set forth the conditions for "ascending to heaven on the wings of the Spirit."

Written by: Saint Sophrony of Essex, England Translated from the Russian by: Rosemary Edmonds Originally published in 1991 by the Patriarchal Stavropegic Monastery of St. John the Baptist, Tolleshunt Knights by Maldon, Essex "Man does not always find it easy with God. In the generally much prolonged periods when grace abandons the soul, God may appear a merciless tyrant. When all his efforts - often pushed to extreme limits - fail to obtain Divine mercy, man suffers acutely that were it possible, he would renounce existence in any form. What, then is the nature of suffering? Not an easy question to answer." (p. 193) "The soul from love of the Lord has lost her wits. She sits it silence, with no wish to speak, and looks upon the world with mazed eyes, having no desire for it and seeing it not. And people do not know that she is contemplating her beloved Lord, that the world has been left behind and is forgotton, for there is no sweetness therein." (p. 207)
