Hot off the press
The life of St. Joseph the Hesychast
described in the present book in broad strokes is stirring. A year ago a
picture of him came into my hands, which I hang on the wall of my dining room.
The expression of his eyes was penetrating every time I looked at it. I felt he
was trying to tell me something. One day in August I said to myself that I
needed to read about that elder who seemed to have something important to
vouchsafe to me. When I started studying his life, I felt an inner peace. Some
passages from his letters came as answers to my own questions. I did not intend
to write a book about his biography, it just came up. I found myself thirsting
to take his pulse and follow this elder as his other spiritual daughter. I hope
you will too feel the heavenly fragrance that Athos’ myrrh blossom spreads to
your soul. Let us ask him to intercede for us to obtain the blessing, but not
without tears. Always with tears...Enjoy your reading!
