 | | Readers of the Philokalia are probably all acquainted with the wonderful little book, The Way of the Pilgrim, which tells an outwardly charming but deeply serious story of the search by an unnamed Russian pilgrim for a method of prayer that will fulfill the Scriptural command to pray without ceasing. |
 | | Philokalia (Greek: 'Love of the Good, the Beautiful'), is an anthology of Christian monastic texts in Greek, that became part of a movement for spiritual renewal in mount Athos monastic life. |
 | | Accordingly, it became more effective to edit the writings of the philokalia, whose text was no doubt, adapted from the sayings of the desert fathers initially intended for their monastic disciples, to a book for all Eastern Orthodox, laity and monks alike, although the necessity of a spiritual counselor is repeatedly emphasized. |
