Summary: True Christian Love
Comment: The letters of people 'in the world' are full of the boundless love of an elder, who lived his life in Russia and Finland in the Valaam Monasteries. Skhemaigumen John had a vast correspondence that was collected in the fifties by a small group of people.

Here is a short extract form the book:

In our Monastery life goes silently on although the brothers are quite old, just like in an old peoples home, one older than the other. If I am alive in July I will be 79 - a respectable age, and I am ready to enter eternity. I thank God that I have lived to such an old age and that he has allowed me, a sinner, to live all my life in a monastery. I have not had to experience the worldly life, full of deceit, vainglory, lies and pride. Can anyone amidst these sins feel peace and tranquillity in their souls? Surely not."
