Father Gerasim of New Valaam

Bert Forrez — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 14:54:21 +0000

Father Gerasim of New Valaam includes a preliminary Life of this righteous confessor, together with selections from his letters and three of his articles, all of which are largely autobiographical. From his words there emerges a warm, loving and endearing man, close to God’s creation. At the same time, we see him as a mystic of the holy Optina tradition; a knower of God to who contact with the other world was a common reality. We can only marvel at how he was able to preserve the simplicity of his blessed childhood, with its fresh, guileless reactions to the joys and sorrows of life, and how he managed to preserve, on a wild island so far from his native land, a microcosm of Holy Russia.

Little Russian Philokalia Vol III: St. Herman

Bert Forrez — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 14:50:22 +0000

“Philokalia” means “love of the beautiful and good”. It was the name given to a celebrated 18th-century collection of Greek mystical texts on the Christian spiritual life, teaching the path to true sobriety and the fullness of union with God.

This “Little Russian Philokalia” is a new collection of ascetic texts drawn from Russian sources, chiefly of the 18th through the 20th centuries.

The third volume is devoted to St. Herman of Alaska (†1836), who brought the original Paisian “Philokalia” to America and drew his converts to sanctity.
