Preot burundez: Am găsit în Biserica ortodoxă tot ceea ce aveam nevoie - Despre sistemul educațional

"Burundian priest: I found in the Orthodox Church everything I needed..."

Pr. Prof. Epifanie predă franceză și kirundi și mai rar, engleză. Împreună cu dna. preoteasă, părintele are 4 copii și un prunc înfiat de la fratele său mai mic. Cum a ajuns să fie profesor, să studieze seminarul și cum s-a convertit de la catolicism la ortodoxie. Când a vrut să studieze mai multe în biblioteca seminarului catolic, a fost refuzat pe motiv că nu are studii teologice. De aici a început o căutare pe cont propriu care a dus către credința cea adevărată. A refuzat postul de director al școlii pentru a se dedica mai mult misiunii de preot.

Matushka Constantina Palmer, "The Scent of Holiness"

Lessons from a monastery

On one of my many visits to a fifteenth century women’s monastery in Greece Sr. Theologia asked me: “What theology do you learn here? All we do is put you to work.”
Come along with me and see what I saw, hear what I heard, drink from the spiritual fountain of life-giving water that was given to me. For four years I studied at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki but during that time I learned more from my encounters with nuns than I could have from countless degrees. I met holy people, heard incredible stories, helped with interesting work, and made a few quirky mistakes as a foreigner along the way. But I gained invaluable experience as an Orthodox Christian. Longing to learn true theology I went and sat at the feet of the greatest scholars, a monastery full of nuns.
Biographies of contemporary Elders abound. Books about experiences to the Holy Mountain and other male monasteries are in plenty. How often do we get to glimpse the spiritual life of women? This book is a treasury of spiritual advice, examples of true friendship, loving reprimands, and countless lessons from spiritual women. To Sr. Theologia’s question I answer: Let me tell you what I’ve learned…
The Scent of Holiness: Lessons from a Women’s Monastery is a collection of stories of my frequent trips to women’s monasteries in Northern Greece, and is meant to be a modern-day Materikon written by a layperson for laypeople. Although the stories take place at a handful of monasteries, I set them all in the one monastery to which I traveled most often.

The writing style in The Scent of Holiness is more reminiscent of a journal, rather than a chronological narrative. The purpose behind this is to offer the reader not merely a memoir of my experiences at a monastery, but rather a chance to encounter life in a women’s monastery. Together the reader and I gradually learn how to lead a more fulfilling spiritual life, participate in the monastic life, become better acquainted with the depth of spirituality in female monastics, and experience the Orthodox faith in an Orthodox country.

Although the book focuses on encounters with Orthodox nuns, it was written for the spiritual benefit of both single and married men and women alike. It is for busy mothers and fathers who may not have the time and ability to frequently visit a monastery. It is for interested youth or those considering the monastic life and looking for a detailed description of the everyday work, prayer schedules, and environment of an Orthodox monastery. It is for converts and cradle Orthodox who have not had the opportunity to live or travel in an Orthodox country, and who long for the faith that permeates the air in the “old country”. It is even for the non-Orthodox who desires to understand the traditional beliefs and practices that continue unbroken within the Orthodox Church for thousands of years. Ultimately it is a book for Orthodox and non-Orthodox men and women alike who desire an intimate glimpse of monastic life and of Orthodoxy generally. My hope is that the “sayings” and experiences in this book will offer my fellow struggling Christians similar monastic wisdom as found in the collections of sayings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers.

The Scent of Holiness: Lessons from a Women’s Monastery is available for purchase (both as a paperback and as an e-book) on Amazon and Conciliar Press’ website.
For orders outside the US you can order from Conciliar Press. Amazon will only send hard copies of the book to residence in the US but the e-book is available in all countries and can be read on PC computers, not only on e-readers.

About: matushka Constantina (here)

I am a struggling Orthodox Christian, the wife of an Orthodox priest (called "matushka" in the Russian tradition), a student of theology, a painter of icons, and the author of The Scent of Holiness: Lessons from a Women's Monastery. My husband and I are from New Brunswick but currently live and serve the Orthodox community in St. John's, Newfoundland. We returned to Canada after nearly six years in Thessaloniki, Greece, and one year in Seoul, South Korea. While in Greece I took a three-year course in Byzantine chant and spent four years learning to paint icons under the tutelage of a Serbian iconographer. I received my Master's in Theology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki; my thesis is entitled: The Theological Presuppositions of the Orthodox Iconographer According to the Canons of the Stoglav Sobor (Moscow, 1551). If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to e-mail me at wiserthantheworld (at) gmail (dot) com.

Mireasma sfinteniei. Povestiri dintr-o manastire de maici

sophia-Mireasma-sfinteniei.-Povestiri-dintr-o-manastire-de-maici---Constantina-Palmer

Povestirile Constantinei Palmer nu sunt nici teologice, nici catehetice. Ele sunt relatări personale, nemijlocite, ale propriilor sale experiențe duhovnicești trăite într‑o mănăstire ortodoxă, prin intermediul cărora autoarea împărtășește cititorilor nu numai trăirile ei de taină într‑un univers existențial plin de iubire și dăruire, ci și invitația de a explora în profunzime acest mod de viață. O astfel de invitație ne deschide paginile cărții de față, îndemnându‑ne să pătrundem într‑o lume mai puțin cunoscută, pentru a afla cât mai multe aspecte interesante, inedite, ziditoare de suflet culese din viața de zi cu zi într‑o mănăstire de maici.
S‑au scris multe cărți și biografii ale părinților stareți contemporani, diferite relatări ale unor experiențe duhovnicești dobândite în mănăstiri de călugări, dar caracterul unic al viețuirii monahale în mănăstirile de maici a rămas deseori ascuns, departe de ochii pelerinilor. Desigur, în Hristos Domnul nu mai este parte bărbătească și parte femeiască (Galateni 3, 28), însă călugăria femeilor are totuși o calitate distinctă. „Bărbații, după cum spunea o maică stareță, încearcă să taie sfoara cu toporul dintr‑o singură lovitură; femeile se nevoiesc să o desfacă încet. Altfel spus, bărbații încearcă să‑și reteze patimile năpustindu‑se cu forță asupra lor, în timp ce femeile se străduiesc fără încetare să se lupte cu patimile, dar duc această luptă treptat‑treptat, fără a atrage atenția asupra lor.”
