St Silouan's book info
An ardent [[ascetic]], he received the grace of unceasing [[prayer]] and saw [[Christ]] in a vision. After long years of spiritual trial, he acquired great [[humility]] and inner stillness. He prayed and wept for the whole world as for himself, and he put the highest value on love for enemies. Thomas Merton, a twentieth-century [[Roman Catholic|Catholic]] monk, described Silouan as “the most authentic monk of the twentieth century.” St Silouan died on [[September 24]], 1938. He was [[glorification|glorified]] by the [[Church of Constantinople|Ecumenical Patriarchate]] in 1987.
Though barely literate, he was sought out by pilgrims for his wise counsel. His writings were edited by his disciple and pupil, [[Archimandrite Sophrony]]. Father Sophrony has written the life of the saint along with a record of St. Silouan's teachings in the book ''[https://essexmonastery.com/bookshop/saint-silouan-the-athonite Saint Silouan the Athonite]''.
