Naslspirk. I want flame. Life and prayer. Archimandrite Spiridon (Kislyakov)

This book continues a series of publications of the unique manuscript heritage of Archimandrite Spiridon (Kislyakov) (1875-1930?), Miraculously preserved and recently re-gained, if published earlier, in a strongly cut, overly adapted form. Not subjected to censorship, "alive", Archimandrite Spiridon is already familiar to the reader from the piercing "confession of the priest in front of the Church." The main theme of the book “I want flame” was not the horrors of war, the awareness of a terrible catastrophe that Christianity has undergone in the world, and the vices of the Church are the tragic topics of “confession” - and the spiritual impulse to God's communion, gaining itself in unity with God and the adoption of God's love, The impulse to which Father Spiridon followed his whole life. Idillic moments of "religious spring", children's life in the contemplation of nature. Peasant everyday life with their simple and severe life. Growing up in pure natural faith. And the gradual immersion in pain, suffering and grief marked by the tragic imperfection of the world... The flame of this tragedy would condemn and destroy the world, if not for the other flame, the flame that Archimandrite Spiridon gave his heart.
