The monastery is not a quiet haven, not a resting place, but a battlefield.

The monastery  is not a quiet haven, not a resting place, but a battlefield. Spiritual, invisible warfare is acute here. All the hidden flaws, the dark sides of the soul over time appear, come to the surface, become visible. It starts to seem that you yourself have become worse and in general the people around are even worse than in the world. In fact, this is not the case, although, as in any battlefield, here the course of the battle may be different. However, who is the winner and who is defeated, will be determined at the end of each individual battle, i.e. at the end of life. “What I will find in this, and judge it,” says the Lord.
