Why Did St. Paisios Value Prostrations So Much? “They Help More Than All Other Spiritual Struggles”
Why did Saint Paisios the Athonite consider prostrations one of the greatest spiritual practices in the Orthodox Christian life? In this powerful spiritual teaching, St. Paisios explains how prostrations help both soul and body, cultivate humility, strengthen prayer, and assist the believer more than many other forms of ascetic struggle. He teaches that prostrations are not merely physical movements, but acts of repentance, worship, gratitude, and spiritual warfare. This teaching comes from the living experience of one of the most beloved Orthodox saints of modern times and offers practical guidance for anyone seeking a deeper prayer life, inner peace, and spiritual growth.
