Dear Bryan. Thank you for sharing such spiritual treasures in these times filled with trials and temptations. I read the Book of Psalms. 3 per day just before the morning prayers. God and Our Mother be always with you.

[@briankrenzelak439]

Thank you for replying. I too read a Psalm every more. So many treasures given to us.

Greetings brother

[@aadrian8965]

I also have this book!

[@paulk8072]

I have this book, quite hard to replicate the experience in the modern world. Obviously it is full of wisdom and knowledge but if you are trapped in the secular world where money is everything and you have none, makes you have to prostitute yourself to a godless system. Sometimes I wish I could just walk out West into the Queensland desert and keep going until people disappeared.

[@TyStudhead]

What you read about St. Isaac pertaining to something in the lives of the monks on that very day is still happening. In fact, it just happened.
I just completed a huge landscaping "project of love" at our home for my wife and kids. All throughout the project, I struggled to know if I was really doing it "for them" or just out of my own over-focus. On one day, everything was going wrong -- I would do everything the wrong way the first time, and then have to fix it. On other days, everything went so smoothly. Those were the days AFTER being humbled, and holding on to that humility inside my heart.
I think that the Saints "come to us" on specific days when they see we need them. It feels to us like them "popping into our heads." But it is really a communication with our nous.
Thank you brother for uploading this. I needed exactly this video, at exactly this time.

[@briankrenzelak439]

Thank you for leaving your comment. Could not agree more with all of your experience you shared.

[@webkahmik]

Now, THAT'S a book.

[@briankrenzelak439]

Not many like it in the history of mankind.

[@webkahmik]

@@briankrenzelak439 In emphatic agreement. Just really getting into the Patristics, and Isaac instantly galvanized me, from the very first sentence I came across! Just read a wonderful excerpt from his Treatises on the Behaviour of Excellence.

[@briankrenzelak439]

What I find fascinating also is rereading St. Isaac and another layer to the same words being revealed, time and time again.

[@briankrenzelak439]

I believe I just ordered the one you referenced.

[@briankrenzelak439]

Is there a certain translation you recommend?

St. Issac the Syrian lived in Church before any division happened. And so everyone respect him.

@@andreastheo2019bishops from both churches were still in communion during St Isaac's time. The division hasnt yet had its full effect until several centuries after the council.
