“In this Second Volume of ‘Ascetic Strugglers of Piety’ we present the Lives of three women strugglers. Each of them trod a path very different from the next—one, a fool-for-Christ ; another, a sorrowful widow living in the world; and, lastly, a humble nun. But each of them adhered to the narrow, but very personal, path to Heaven indicated to them by the providence of God. It does us both well, dear Reader, to pay attention even to such brief and simply written accounts as these; for in them we will find much profit for our souls, seeing how piously our Orthodox forebears carved out their salvation. May the All-merciful Lord strengthen us also to find, and follow, our own narrow path which leads to Heaven." -from Introduction Show more
