In this book, we have the opportunity to touch the living grave heritage of some Pechersk elders, ascetics who worked in the Pskov-Pechersky Monastery at different times. They left their instructions to future generations on topical topics for all Christians, of which everyone can learn pious and a godly life.

The holy ascetics, the elders of the holy monastery, whom Tikhon Secretarev called “the embodied gospel of our days” left us a spiritual heritage, their covenants - evidence of enduring glory and continuous intercession for the human race.

Pskovo-Pechersky Monnitter-a holy monastery, a place for the ascetic life of the monks and the attraction of the Bogolyubians from all over the world, and especially, of course, from Russia. “This is the spiritual coordinate, where the presence of the Blessed Virgin Mary that has not left the world that has not left the world is immediately indicated, and the geographical point, where from a century a century, from a decade, rivers of Orthodox pilgrims from all over the Christian world are flowing out of a decade” (Archimandrite Tikhon Secretarrev).

For many centuries, Orthodox Christians have come here to learn prayer, listen to the advice of experienced elders, how to arrange their spiritual life in order to live with God. And some remain in this monastery in order to accept monastic tonsure and devote their whole lives to the worship. The monks, the elders of the monastery are prayer books for all people who did not leave and do not leave anyone without comfort, without help. In their prayer experience and help - God's grace, spiritual wisdom and understanding of the purpose and needs of each person in this world. After all, you need to take care of your salvation always and everywhere, in whatever the rank and state this or that person is. “Each of us needs to observe our steps - how we go through life, so that the Lord is not conquered by it, but is glorified” (Bishop Fedor Tepschev).
