To the Monk Macarius of Optina, Russia owes much of its return to the pure and life-giving springs of Orthodoxy after centuries of attempts to reform the national spirit in Western fashion and eradicate Orthodox monasticism. It was St. Macarius who published in Russian books, without which Orthodox education is impossible today - "The Ladder", "Teachings of Abba Dorotheus" and many other works of the holy fathers. In letters to his spiritual children, the monk wisely teaches them, in a fatherly way, the science of living in Christ in specific life circumstances. The publication is supplied with an index, notes, a dictionary of obscure words and subheadings for letters.
