LARGE PRINT /// Dear reader, before you is the famous book of words /homilies/ of the "great teacher of the inner life" - Rev. Isaac the Syrian, translated by the holy elder Paisius Velichkovsky, edited and with notes by the Rev. Macarius of Optina. This publication was a testament to the revival of the spirit of true monasticism and spiritual life in Russia in the middle of the 19th century. The beginning of this revival is inextricably linked with the activities of the Rev. Paisius Velichkovsky, who acquired the spirit of ancient monasticism in the patristic writings and on Athos and transmitted it through his disciples to the pious Russian people. The spiritual exploit of Rev. Paisius consisted in the translation from the Greek language of the "active" creations of the Holy Fathers and in the embodiment of the ancient ascetic teachings in his life and his disciples. /// Troparion to the Monk Isaac the Syrian, Bishop of Nineveh, Tone 1A good priest in the city, / you also settled in the deserts, and flourished, Oh Isaac, / you proved the head of monastics / and the teacher of ascetics, / for this, those who are celebrating worthily your memory, we all call out: / glory to Christ Who glorified you, / glory to Him Who sanctified you, / / glory to Him Who gave us thee, Oh skillful prelate.Kontakion to Rev. Isaac the Syrian, Bishop of Nineveh, Tone 8Like a God-bearing and reverend hierarch, / we praise thee as founder of the desert, / Oh Isaac appeared to us priestly. / But as one who has boldness in the Lord, / pray for all who honor thee and cry out to thee: // Rejoice, Oh God-wise Father of ours.
