Since ancient times, it has been the custom that parents teach their children, passing on to future generations everything that they have been able to learn, understand and experience. It is very important to teach life in the earthly world, but many times more important is to show the path in the spiritual world - unsteady, elusive, invisible. And that is precisely why the teachers who took upon themselves this feat are called holy fathers - because they were able not only to walk the road of the righteous, but also to guide others along it. Behind every patristic instruction is the wisdom and experience of the years lived, behind every line of their messages is the depth of the revelation experienced. These are thoughts filled with true love and faith: about God, about good and evil, about love for one’s neighbor, about life’s difficulties, about happiness, about wealth, about spiritual and physical health, about success in business. These are words worth listening to.
