About this app

The book you hold in your hands is made in order to give the reader an opportunity to touch the spiritual experience of the Christian East. Here you can find three hundred sayings over fifty Orthodox saints from Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Greece, Russia, Serbia, Montenegro, Georgia. Since the first thousand years after Christ the Western Church was part of the family of Orthodox Churches, we can see and statements in our collection of ancient saints who lived on the territory of modern Italy, England, France, Tunisia, - all this is a common spiritual heritage of the Orthodox Church. The earliest utterances shown here was recorded in the second half of the I century, at the latest - in the second half of the twentieth century. Wherever they lived, where they live and whoever they may be, Orthodox saints are talking about one of the spiritual reality, so their statements so complement each Durga. In the XIX century, St. Ignatius (Bryanchaninov) as expressed this observation: "When in autumn clear night I look at the clear sky, studded with countless stars, emitting a single light, then I say to myself: such are the writings of the Fathers. When on a summer day I look at the vast sea, covered a number of different courts, running under a single wind to a single goal, to a pier, then I say to myself: such are the writings of the fathers. When I hear the harmonious choir, in which diverse voices in elegant harmony sing a single song, then I say to myself: such are the writings of the Fathers "(St. Ignatius (Bryanchaninov).). I believe that this small collection of Patristic aphorisms will be interesting and useful not only for Orthodox Christians, but also for all those who appreciate the present. Much of what is collected here has helped me personally, - replied to the questions plaguing it possible to rethink what is happening in my life - and I ventured through this book to share with others what I hold dear.
