Flying over the Abyss
Spiritual mourning reverses the temptation of the Fall: it cleanses every corner of man’s heart from every impurity so that it becomes a true vessel of divine grace for his sanctification. When his heart is thus enlarged, he becomes a true image of God, that is, a repetition of the Hypostasis of Christ. And according to Saint Sophrony, when there are such repetitions on earth, the nature and fate of the whole creation changes. Their prayer sustains the world.
Echoes of the Spirit
T
The Justice of God in Stages
God calls man to a wondrous life. Knowledge of the rough and arduous way, but also of its luminous end, gives wisdom to the mind while begetting inspiration and confidence. It takes many trials to break open man’s heart so that it can be enlarged to accommodate the glorious Spirit of God. Spiritual rebirth does not take place in the bliss of the first grace, but after a painful struggle in the furnace of temptations when man convinces God that he indeed belongs to Him, whether he lives or dies.
Seek, and Ye Shall Find
Thoughts have a taste. Each thought is accompanied by an energy according to its origin. If the thought comes from God, it brings peace and joy and promotes prayer. If it comes from the enemy, it brings confusion and does not harmonise with prayer. Sometimes thoughts which come from God may be completely contrary to our psychological state. Yet they bring life and energy of the Spirit, and our prayer receives wings.

FAQ
Where is my order?
UK deliveries usually take about 2 days.
International Tracked orders take about 7 working days to be delivered. International Untracked orders are usually delivered within 10-12 working days but it could take up to 60 days in the worst case.

Sometimes delays are inevitable. If you believe your order is lost, contact us.
Do you deliver worldwide?
We have fulfilled thousands of international orders up to now, and we should be able to fulfil yours as well. It all depends on whether there is a reliable postal service available to deliver in your country.
I live in the EU and I am worried about ordering from you in case I have to pay import duties and VAT.
If you place an order up to €150 subtotal (net cost of books), then we will handle everything for you so you don’t have to worry about import duties. We use the IOSS system for sales to the EU which effectively means that your order will arrive with no further payments necessary. We charge the relevant amount of VAT and we pay it on your behalf to the different tax authorities via an agent. This is the common system used by most businesses involved in cross border sales.
If your order exceeds the subtotal of €150, then you’ll be responsible to pay any applicable taxes to your local customs control in order to receive the parcel.
If you paid VAT on your order and you are asked by your country’s customs control to pay additional VAT, please contact us about this matter.
Something is wrong with my order.
If you have received the wrong book, something is missing or you received something you didn’t order, please contact us to rectify this for you.
Has my order been processed?
We aim to process and post orders within 48 hours. Sometimes depending on the Church calendar, our processing times may be longer than usual. i.e. during Holy Week.
Do you offer wholesale discounts?
We recognise the need to support our fellow monasteries and parish bookshops so we offer a discount to them whatever the size of their order.
Please first register an account with us and then contact us and we will add the discount for you so that it is automatically applied at the checkout.
Can I order other items from your bookshop?
Our website was created in order to sell our own publications. In the future we might expand to include other popular books and also icons, cards and other items sold in our onsite bookshops. At the moment if you know exactly what you are looking for you may contact us with specific details and we’ll do our best to assist you. However, if you are making a general stock enquiry regrettably it’s beyond our capacity to help at this stage.
