Philokalia

[Anthony86]

For a while now, I’ve been incorporating the Philokalia into my daily practice. I read and meditate on one or two paragraphs a day, just moving page by page. So far, the impact has been more profound than I anticipated. It really stirs my conscience and strengthens my resolve. Sometimes it makes me feel miserable and small.

Does anyone else here regularly read the Philokalia? Could you share your experiences? Do you read it in any particular order?

I’m working on vol 1 right now on my kindle. I love it!

We are miserable and small. We are created for union, and are restless in the time being. You should have a good spiritual director. I recommend The Rule of St. Pachomius

Yes, the Philokalia should not be delved into too lightly. A good spiritual director is a must.

Ultimately, a guide to hesychistic prayer.
