The process of spiritual formation of a modern Christian is very difficult: each of us has known or is learning this from our own experience, since for the most part we came to church as adults, mature people. And you have to learn church life literally from scratch. And there are very few people who have personal experience of the ascetic life who could share this experience with others, so for many books become teachers. Today the reader is offered a new book by Father Raphael, dedicated to prayer. We hope that it will be useful for everyone who is zealous for their salvation and seeking unity with God in the Church Sacraments. A number of articles included in it have already been published over the years in various collections, but most of them have been written recently and not previously published. Particularly interesting in this regard is the very original interpretation of the message to the seven Churches from the apocalypse, constructed by the author as a revelation of the relationship between God and the human soul. We sincerely hope that this book will bring considerable spiritual benefit to our brothers and sisters in Christ.< /p> Source:
