Biography of Father Arseny

The authenticity of the described events is partly hidden by personal names and names. In addition to the confirmation of the still living students of Father Arseny, there is an internal guarantee of this authenticity - the reader’s heart joyfully believes everything described, since it is impossible not to believe - before us is the truth in its genuine beauty.

Even in samizdat typewriting, a wonderful book spread widely and made the strongest impact on a large circle of readers. She showed the image of our time, internally identical to the Orthodox holiness of all time, but having the unique features of the ascetic of the New Age. What is the peculiarity of this recent feat? First of all, in the spirit of time. If, then, out of twelve students, one became a traitor, then the persecution of the 20th century, figuratively speaking, often only one of the twelve was left faithful.

The terrible atmosphere of general abdication, betrayal, betrayal, the unprofitable scale of the spiritual and historical catastrophe, millions of people captivated by lies and involved in the satanic reprisal against Christ Church, over their people and their country - all this plunged into despondency and despair, produced a feeling of doom, diminution, and abandonment.

Having lost faith in God, before the Great, Orthodox Russia, became a defenseless object for the implementation of the satanic plan of an unprecedented genocide in the history of the genocide. Civil and Patriotic Wars, tens of millions of victims of the artificially created hunger, tens of millions of innocent, painfully destroyed in countless camps and prisons. Previously, the Orthodox people are soldered, accustomed to deception, theft and lies as a way of life, violence and robbery, fornication and debauchery, to the systematic destruction of their own children.

In the devilish darkenness, seeing each other enemies and becoming enemies, people gave their strength and life to a centuries -old senseless war, cruelly, mercilessly tormenting each other. They began to unable to organize their folk life, forgot how to work, forgot how to love, live a family life, give birth and raise children. Evil in his essence cannot be defeated by evil, as fire cannot be extinguished by fire.

Only the godfather of Christ, in its self -confirmation with faith and humility, undergoing any torment and even death, is able to defeat evil and tear out from him an already perching, blinded and embittered human soul. There is no doubt that Russia and the Russian Orthodox Church lives and pray, repents and spiritually updated only because the great army of holy martyrs, driven by love to Christ, to the Church, to the lost Russian people, was anti -Staling evil, giving themselves to the cross for the faith of Christ.

If they weren’t, for a long time we had no stone left on the stone. But today, the very life of the Russian Orthodox Church obviously reveals to us the wonderful fruits of the feat of their new holy martyrs. Nevertheless, the spirit of this martyrdom very often remains misunderstood by both writers and readers. Probably because in life this spirit did not meet them.

Often those who are now claiming to be successors and admirers of the holy martyrs, in fact, are already grazed by completely different shepherds. Only a few witnesses left the memories, when the ascetics themselves have long moved to eternal Krovs. Anyone whom the Lord personally personally communicated with the confessors of that time immediately recognizes in the father of Arsenia the image of the Holy Elder, full of love, humility, meekness, Christian sobriety and reasoning, which was in prayer, which has long handed himself to the will of God, endowed with the fertile gifts of protrusion and miracles.

A few and hidden, but still a host of such elders and administrations recently was the performance of ancient prophecies about the saints of the last times. It was through them that the spiritual succession was realized, connecting us today with the fullness of the Russian Orthodox Church, with its saints. The manuscript is published in essence without editorial editing in order to maintain its authenticity.
