Teachings, words, charter and lives of the elder Paisius Velichkovsky. Velichkovsky P.

A collection, which includes the most complete patristic heritage of the Moldovan elder, Rev. Paisius Velichkovsky, who was called the "father of Russian old age." It was the Monk Paisiy Velichkovsky who revived the smart monastic work - the prayer of Jesus.

The first Optina elders - the Monk Leo (Leonid), Macarius, Moses - were direct students of the students of St. Paisius, and their student was the St. Ambrose Optinsky.
