What can we learn from saints who are “fools for Christ?” From the bookseller:
The
existence of "fools for Christ" in the Orthodox tradition mystifies
many people, even some within the Orthodox Church itself. People often wonder
what purpose these sometimes comical and oftentimes tragically misunderstood
saints serve in the life of the Church—especially given their unconventional
and seemingly bizarre behaviors. In Holy Fools we begin to gain a better
understanding of these saints' curious manner of serving Christ, as we learn
about the extraordinary lives of twenty of the most well-known fools for Christ
in a series of brief hagiographies.
It is strongly encouraged to discuss spiritual material with your spiritual father, father confessor, or spiritual mother.
Wonder book that we discussed in November 2024.
