Question: Saint Silouan and Saint Sophrony speak repeatedly about the Holy Spirit. How do we experience the Holy Spirit according to their teaching? Answer: Everything begins from our faith in Christ and accepting His word. When we make His commandments the unique law of our life, then we gradually acquire a certain mystical depth. We become mystical, just as the Person of the Holy Spirit is mystical, secret, invisible. The Spirit of God works in us in diverse ways. Father Sophrony once explained to me that the prayer, ‘O God, cleanse Thou me, a sinner’ is addressed to the Holy Spirit. Thus, the Holy Spirit first of all cleanses us from our sins, heals us from the wounds of sin and ...

1. Introduction These days, when we talk about a spiritual father, we usually mean a priest who’s a confessor. But in Church tradition, the sense of spiritual paternity is much broader. Only God is the Father . Christ, Who is the Son of God, is revealed also as our father, by manifesting the love of the Father to the world. Christ in His paternal capacity is even clearer at the Ascension. His disciples have a premonition of their spiritual orphanhood and are overwhelmed by indescribable pain. The Lord doesn’t abandon them as orphans, however. He sends the Holy Spirit, Who guides them to ‘all the truth’ . Through the Holy Spirit, the Apostles begat spiritual children and transferred their gifts to bishops, ...
