I have an amazing little booklet available I wanted to offer to my readers for purchase which would make especially great reading for Great Lent. Recently I was commissioned to translate some beneficial writings of Righteous Alexei Mechev, but it didn't fall through and I was left with a bunch of booklets I would like to now sell instead of counting my losses. Please order today!

Saint Sophrony the Recluse of the Kiev Caves

St. Sophrony the Recluse of the Caves (Feast Day - May 11)

Venerable Sophrony the Recluse labored in the Far Caves of the Kiev Caves Lavra around the thirteenth century. 

Having enclosed himself there in a dark cave, every day he read the entire Psalter. 

He always wore a rough hair shirt and a heavy iron belt was wrapped around his body. 

It is said that he was accounted worthy of hearing angelic singing.

He now enjoys eternal joy in Heaven with the Angels, reigning with Christ. 

His relics rest in the Far Caves.
