A Year in the Holy Spirit with Saint Silouan the Athonite: – A Calendar of Daily Quotes

“Only a few thoughts engage the Staretz’ soul, his mind, but ontologically these thoughts are most profound. They are the measure of all that exists. Whoever in the depths of his being is inspired by such thinking beholds the whole world as it were through a mysterious spiritual prism.” – Archimandrite Sophrony My goal in selecting one spiritual thought per day is that you will discover the light of God’s invisible spiritual reality through St. Silouan’s simple yet profound teachings, like looking through a pinhole to bear the intensity of sunlight. I hope that when you find these quotes meaningful, you will desire to know St. Silouan, and Orthodox Christianity better. St. Silouan is a modern Orthodox Christian Saint. He spent most if his life as an ascetic on Mt. Athos, Greece, at the Russian Monastery dedicated to Saint Panteleimon.
