Жизнь и вечность.15 бесед о смерти и страдании

Despite the taboo, as experience shows, people want to talk and hear about death and suffering. Metropolitan Anthony speaks of this in a way that few of our contemporaries do. The materials collected in this book are a product of the gift of prayerful contemplative listening that the bishop possessed. In all his reflections, we see a personal faith in the incompleteness of death, in the superiority of love, in the Light of Resurrection, which no darkness can overshadow. The bishop dispels the attitude towards death as "the worst that can happen to us." His words are full of light, comfort, hope, and love. He speaks of death and suffering in such a way that dying and suffering become almost not frightening.
