One wonders how much busier the good monks illuminating manuscripts might have been had they invented the credit card before the printing press! I'd bet they'd have been forced to "grow" some Holy elders a little more rapidly than in the past... or there'd be some really really tired folks out there trying to convert this country! So we're blessed on that score.... only it's just kind of hard to get the nose out of the book sometimes... and actually get back to the living experiments of applying it I think we're supposed to be doing. Maybe someone will write that one book... and like the "one word"... it'll do the trick. Haven't seen it yet... but FWIW, these opening chapters... they're pretty doggone close to the "That's it!" moment.... least they seem to do it for me. Thanks for stopping by.

Zacharias prefers not to be called 'elder' or 'geronda.' Nor do his friends Fr. Raphael and Fr. Seraphim. For what it is worth, Fr.

James Early Thu, 29 May 2008 17:25:54 +0000 http://vvcix.wordpress.com/?p=51#comment-104 James, you have a nice blog. I appreciate your being a reader and commentor on mine. Thanks also for putting me on your sidebar. It seems like every day, I am hearing (podcasts) or reading someone refer to one or more of the triumvirate of St. Silouan, St. Sophrony (Sahkarov) and Elder Zacharias. I think maybe someOne may be hinting that I need to read their works. Alas, every time I finish one book, I discover two or three more that I need to read. May the Lord bless you.

I think, however, I would have preferred it in book form to ponder a bit slowly. I’ve listened to part of a lecture by Archimandrite Zacharias on this subject and it was quite good.
