Letters of Spiritual Direction to a Young Soul - Letter Sixteen Part II and Letter Seventeen Part I

from Philokalia Ministries · host Fr. David S. Abernethy, C.O.

More than anything, letters 16 and 17 reveal to us the heart of St. Theophan. He wants the young Anastasia to be free and her heart to be filled with the peace, the complete peace of the kingdom. Before he teaches her anything about the life of prayer or establishes any rule for her to follow, he wants her to grasp the fact that God is part of her life at every single moment and everything that she does, no matter how small, so long as it is done in love, is pleasing in the eyes of God. How different our lives would be if we could even live this for a single day and taste the sweetness of this peace! How full our lives would be if we could engage even in the most menial tasks with the freedom of love, eternal love!
