The Life & Akathist of St. Panaretos of Paphos (Orthodox Christian Treasury Series) [eBook]

Description

In an age of constant noise and self-promotion, how does one cultivate true, hidden virtue? How can a soul find the stillness of the desert amidst the cares of the world?

Discover the profound answer in the life of one of God’s most remarkable and yet little-known saints of the last few centuries: Our Father Among the Saints, Panaretos, Bishop of Paphos.

As part of our Orthodox Christian Treasury series, our monastery has unearthed, translated, and now presents the incredible life of this 18th-century wonderworker. St. Panaretos was a hierarch who, while outwardly fulfilling his duties with simple meekness, secretly undertook ascetic labours that rivaled the greatest desert fathers. He wore a heavy chain embedded in his flesh, stood all night in prayer, and possessed such intimacy with God that he could silence a blasphemer with a word and foresee events from afar.

His life is a powerful testament that the path to holiness is open to all, in any station of life, even in these latter times. It is a vital and inspiring story for every Orthodox Christian seeking to live a life of authentic piety hidden in God.
