Saint Theophan, who lived in seclusion at the Vyshensky Monastery, was a renowned theologian, spiritual writer, and man of prayer. Through his writings and letters, he guided people on the path to salvation, supported them with spiritual guidance, and helped them understand the events occurring in the country and the world. The saint corresponded with many bishops, elders, and laypeople. Every day, he received numerous letters that he had to answer, and he did so personally. Today, we have the internet and text messages, which we use to quickly share information, but in those days, everything was written by hand. People pray to Saint Theophan for help in their studies, for the saint served for a long time in the field of spiritual enlightenment. They pray for the gift of pure prayer, for the saint took upon himself one of the most difficult feats—that of seclusion and prayer for the entire Orthodox world. Prayerfully approaching his holy relics, people address all manner of everyday needs. Young people ask for help in choosing a profession, and many receive healing from physical ailments, including infertility. According to Saint Theophan, "prayer is the first work in the Christian life." If we turn to Saint Theophan with sincere faith and hope, he will surely grant us what we ask for, grant us inner peace and purity of thoughts, arrange all external affairs, and ultimately lead us to salvation, for all Christians must find this path. This edition contains an akathist to this universally revered saint.
