Below is a short excerpt from our conversation. Recalling an episode from the Book of Joshua, Father Savva says that our "heart became like water." A great support for fainthearted people is, first and foremost, reading the lives of the saints. Of the lives of the saints, Father Savva is most drawn to the periods in which human weakness is most evident. When we turn to the saints in our faintheartedness, they will understand us. 200 years ago, Abbot Anthony Bochkov wrote, "We are suffocated by reports." For a monk to travel anywhere, he must collect seven seals. But monasteries were opening, and at Optina Pustyn, Moses and Anthony bore the brunt of the Synodal administrative system. St. Seraphim of Sarov ministered to several women's communities. Several pious women formed a monastic community in Ardatov. Seraphim of Sarov blessed the purchase of a nearby hermitage, and after a fire in the town of Ardatov, 20 years after its purchase, the Ardatov Intercession Convent was built in its place. A women's colony later replaced it. A young physician, Valentin Felixovich Voyno-Yasenetsky, also worked and lived in Ardatov. Like a young, green shoot of holiness. Nectarius of Optina was a fool for Christ. When he became despondent, as Orthodoxy was crumbling, he suggested that Nadezhda Pavlovich go to Japan. Since 1988, the Liturgy will be celebrated again at Optina Pustyn. No one knows what awaits whom. But green branches—the shoots of Orthodoxy—still spring up near holy places. The Lord will not abandon us 🙏 Subscribe to our channels: https://t.me/prosmysly https://vk.com/prosmysly_vitcool Listen in audio format https://app.mave.digital/episodes Our project needs your support 🙏 https://kronagroup.tilda.ws/prosmysly
