Publisher's Synopsis
Everything offered here is my church sermons, speeches on the occasion of various solemn gatherings, and articles written between 1951, the year I arrived in the United States and began my ministry to the Russian Church Abroad at the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville in the rank of Archimandrite, and then - in the rank of Bishop (since 1953) and Archbishop (since 1961).Russian people wholeheartedly accepted the main commandment of the Law of God on love for God and their neighbors, and especially deeply assimilated the spirit of true Christian humility and mercy to all those suffering and suffering. Humility and mercy became, as it were, the national character traits of the Russian man, and this continued almost until the very last time, despite the frenzied propaganda of godlessness and immorality that came to us from the wicked West, who had long laughed at these Christian virtues as signs of "backwardness", "Lack of culture."
