The works collected in this volume reflect the importance which the Elder consistently attached to prayer, spirituality, community life, worship, and Liturgy. In a simple and yet compelling manner Elder Aimilianos sets forth the conditions for “ascending to heaven on the wings of the Spirit”. Many readers of the addresses of Elder Aimilianos, which have been published in the five-volume series, Archimandrite Aimilianos, Spiritual Instructions and Discourses (Ormylia, 1998-2003), have frequently expressed the wish for an abridged and more accessible form of his teaching. In response, we are happy to inaugurate a new series of publications incorporating key texts from the above-mentioned collection.
