    RIVERS OF LIVING WATER (PART 2): On the Holy Elders of Kolitsou, Mount Athos

    Written by: Hieromonk Nicodemus Jones Purchase the book directly from the publisher St. George Press: https://stgeorgepress.com/products/rivers-of-living-water-on-the-holy-elders-of-kolitsou-mount-athos Hidden up above the quiet bays of Mount Athos, the St. George Kellion of Kolitsou was home to some of the most remarkable Athonite elders of the 20th century. This book gathers their lives, struggles, and spiritual counsel—above all the witness of the recently glorified Elder and Saint Dionysius Ignat (†2004; in Romania, he is known as "Dionisie Ignat de la Colciu"), but also his fellow strugglers such as Hieroschemamonk George (Gamaliel) Boboc, Elder John Shova, and other fathers who lived and prayed in this small corner of the Holy Mountain. Through eyewitness accounts, pilgrims’ journals, and rare testimonies, Rivers of Living Water opens a window into the Athonite life at Kolitsou: to their nights of stillness and prayer, to their bonds of spiritual brotherhood in Christ, to the hardships of poverty and exile they endured, and to the spiritual wisdom distilled within them through decades of ascetic struggle. This is not simply a biography of one man but a living memory of a spiritual family, bound together in Christ and dedicated to the Mother of God, the Protectress of the Holy Mountain. Readers will find here not only the history of a Kellion and its fathers, but also guidance, encouragement, and a glimpse of the grace that sustained them. This is a book for pilgrims, for seekers, and for all who desire to taste the freshness of the Gospel flowing through the monastic heart of Mount Athos.

    SAINT JOSEPH THE HESYCHAST: LIFE - TEACHINGS (Holy Mountain Series - 2)

    Written by: Elder Joseph of Vatopedi Published by: The Great & Holy Monastery of Vatopedi (Holy Mountain Series - 2) https://www.vatopedi.com/en/product/books-and-music/books/imv-0195/030112000001/saint-joseph-the-hesychast-life-and-teachings-semi-hardback https://www.holymountainseries.com/ Saint Joseph the Hesychast is widely known today as one of the most niptic and mystic of the recent elders of the Orthodox Church. On the occasion of his recent enrollment into the ranks of the Saints of the Orthodox Church, we present to the world the republication of the first book of the Life of the Saint, written by one of his disciples, Elder Joseph of Vatopedi, of blessed memory, who lived by his side in the remote caves in the “desert” of Mount Athos.   “The Elder used to tell us that the experience of love for one’s neighbor is revealed to him who prays in truth; and more specifically, ‘When grace is operative in the soul of someone who is praying, then he is flooded with the love of God, so that he can no longer bear what he experiences. Afterwards, this love turns towards the world and man, whom he comes to which doesn’t really work here love so much that he seeks to take upon himself the whole of human pain and misfortune so that everyone else might be freed from it. In general, he suffers with every grief and misery, and even for dumb animals, so that he weeps when he thinks that they are suffering. These are properties of love, but it is prayer that activates them and calls them forth. This is why those who are advanced in prayer do not cease to pray for the world. To them belongs even the continuation of life, however strange and audacious this may seem. And you should know that, if such people disappear, then the end of this world will come.’”  Telegram version with downloadable mp3 for "off-line" use: https://t.me/athoniteaudio/9817
