The stories of the Saints are filled with accounts of deception…

Those without faith are deceived already, you see…

So true.

Which is why while knowing that Satan has already been defeated and shall be tossed into Hell,
and that he has no power over the disposition of our Soul,
we maintain our Fear of the Lord - The Beginning of Wisdom…

Yes… We are in the midst of a Great Apostasy

Never lose FAITH IN JESUS!

The Beginning of Wisdom is a good thing…

The Telos is Loving God…

Keeping vigil over one’s soul is a good thing…

Especially in these times…

Yes. Again… We are in the midst of the Great Apostasy…

And much much more.

This buoys and confirms my Faith… and HOPE.

Our Lord JESUS forewarned us - and, we await His Return

Latin Catholic Fr. John Hardon wrote:
Adam’s infused knowledge was not acquired, in the sense of natural cognition derived from experience and the reasoning process; nor was it intrinsically supernatural as giving a knowledge of the mysteries, such as the souls enjoy in the beatific vision. It was infused because not naturally acquired, but yet entitatively not beyond the capacity of man’s faculties in his statu viae. Theologians commonly refer to three areas of special knowledge possessed by Adam: regarding God and His attributes, the moral law or man’s relations to God, and the physical universe both material and spiritual.
…
The possession of infused knowledge is held to be common and certain doctrine , though some assign a higher dogmatic note.

She showed up thin online, with nothing in English, and is virtually unknown in the West… I would guess that (St.) John Maximovich encountered her and had something to do with her contemplation - He was exercising his extraordinary Gifts even back then in France… A whole French Ecole developed in Orthodoxy as a consequence of his ministry there…

Did she describe at all her encounter with God that launched her theological writings?

Forgive me, I am assuming you have read her in French…

I suffer strengthless presumption, you know… 🙂

I don’t actually have that book and have read translated portions. I only read of her daughter’s description of her path.
