Prayers on the lake. St. Nicholas of Serbia (Velimirovich) | Book in Russian Language | Moscow, 2018
Quantity
The greatest Serb of the twentieth century, St. Nicholas of Serbia (Velimirovich, 1880-1956) is certainly the brightest and most ambitious personality in the recent history of the Balkans. Long before his official canonization (May 2008), prayerfully revered throughout the Orthodox world, he was granted the most precious gifts of the Holy Spirit from the Lord during his earthly life.
Much is said about God's help to modern man in the work of St. Nicholas of Serbia. "God is with us!" the Saint exclaims, addressing Orthodox Christians, who are constrained from all sides by the machinations of the devil and the malice of the Christ-haters.
What should we be afraid of? Are we not hourly, every minute witnesses of the inexplicable mystery and the ineffable mercy of God? And only blind eyes and stagnant hearts do not see and do not feel this.
