His works, which comprise over twenty volumes, include such classics as The Path to Salvation and A Commentary on Psalm 118, as well as many volumes of letters. Although he lived the last twenty-eight years of his life as a hermit, his impact on his homeland was immense.

He also addresses the problems of his day—lack of faith, coldness of heart, trust in the rational mind rather than in the revealed Truth of God—which are problems of our day as well.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e   Contemplating the sacred texts together with St. Theophan, the reader will learn to penetrate more deeply into Holy Scripture, and will receive answers to many dogmatic, moral, and spiritual questions which touch upon our salvation. Thoughts for Each Day of the Year can help us to more closely connect our lives with the life of Christ in His Holy Church, and to gain a better knowledge of how to fulfill His commandments. By reading St. Theophan’s daily exhortations and taking them to heart, one can be changed by the grace-filled power of our Savior, in accordance with the teaching of the Apostle Paul: Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Rom. 12:2).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoftcover, 312 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 978-1-887904-22-3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"St Hermans Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44452137140512,"sku":"978-1887904223","price":41.13,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/6260\/0736\/products\/tedy-1.jpg?v=1675378932"},{"product_id":"copy-of-father-herman-alaskas-saint-by-f-a-golder","title":"A Little Corner of Paradise by Archimandrite Ioanichie Bălan","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eElder Paisius (Olaru) of Sihla (1897–1990) was one of the most beloved spiritual fathers of Romania in recent times.

In this fine Christian poetry, the author expresses his awareness of the sacramental character of the created world, and of the potential of everything in it to act as a witness and pointer to the Creator. God's two witnesses, says Ephrem, are, \"Nature, through man's use of it, [and] Scripture, through his reading it.\" In his writing, Ephrem posits an inherent link between the material and spiritual worlds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSt. Ephrem's mode of theological discussion is essentially Biblical and Semitic in character. He uses types and symbols to express meanings or relations, to reveal something that is otherwise hidden, particularly in expressing the connections between the Old Testament and the New, between this world and the heavenly, between the New Testament and the sacraments, and between the sacraments and the end of the world.

Those diverse cries are most clearly heard in the book of Psalms, a book which recapitulates the entire scriptural story; St Athanasius describes the Psalter as a garden which grows the fruit of every other book of the Bible. Music for Christian worship has thus always centered on the Psalms: the text articulates those cries, while the music situates us as hearers, forcing us into the role of “the coming generation” (Ps 78:4), fusing ancient words and modern melodies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\"\u003eThe Psalms offer cries of despair, like in Mandell’s desolate \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePsalm of Deliverance\u003c\/em\u003e, and in his\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Lamentations\u003c\/em\u003e arrangement.

Originally the Great Fast was a preparation for Christian initiation, the death-and-resurrection with Christ that was conferred during the Paschal night. Each day... the bishop would give a biblical catechesis in which the literal and spiritual meaning fitted each other, and in which the entire Bible was interpreted as being the encounter of the two Adams, as one vast parable of the Prodigal Son. These efforts to understand were inseparable from a committed asceticism—as they still should be—for one must approach Scripture with an intelligence that is purified, heart and mind united. Traces of this primitive catechesis survive in the hymnography of the Triodion, particularly in Saint Andrew’s Great Canon. Eight of its nine odes consist, in the main, of a 'metanoic' [i.e., repentant] rumination on the Old Testament, with the grace of the life-giving Cross appearing not just in the typology but directly in the final troparia of each ode before coming into its own in the ninth, which is entirely devoted to it. In this way, the Bible becomes the story of humanity, the story of the 'total Adam,' of the 'single Man,' as the Fathers put it, and consequently of my story. Not in the sense that I should turn the Bible into a game of pietistic allegories so as to express the various states of my soul. Rather, in the sense that I am wrested from my smug or dreary individuality and discover that I am “consubstantial” with the heart-rending experience of all men.... [O]ur fallen state is not something closed in on itself. Despair turns into hope.

The questions Larchet considers are fundamental: the origin of sin in a fallen world, its impact on physical health, and the healing of human nature by the incarnate Son of God. He explains healing as a means of glorifying God, stressing again the crucial role of prayer and sacramental grace in promoting genuine health. When illness plunges us into unfamiliar territory, even to the point of death, Larchet teaches us to marshal spiritual reserves in a society dominated by technology and materialism. In a time when the physician has been dubbed the high priest of the god of Modern Medicine, Larchet encourages us to situate these crucial experiences within the framework of their relationship to the unique reality of the Holy Trinity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:  \u003c\/strong\u003eJean-Claude Larchet is an Orthodox layman and a professor of philosophy in a French lycee in Strasbourg.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003eReview:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cheader\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"productReview-title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eThe Theology of Illness\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productReview-author\"\u003ePosted by -- Fr John Breck, From the Foreword on 10th Jun 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productReview-body abc\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003e[This book] offers us fresh insight into the mystery of evil, sin, and illness, and their place within our struggle toward holiness...

To those who wonder how such claims can be advanced on behalf of the Jesus Prayer, and how it is that this particular way of praying continues to appeal so powerfully to contemporary Christians, Eastern and Western, Orthodox and non-Orthodox, this short book provides an answer. Starting with the veneration of the Holy Name in the Old and the New Testament, the author traces the gradual development of the Jesus Prayer first in Byzantium and then in the Slavic lands. He concludes with practical suggestions for its use today, showing how it is a prayer not only of the past but equally for the modern world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIndeed, there are good reasons to believe that the \"way of the name,\" as he calls it, is being followed by more Christians in our own day than ever before - a striking sign of hope in an age of anxiety.
