Proposing to the lovers of spiritual reading the well-known Benevolence, we consider it necessary to say a few words about what it is about.
We translate the Greek noun "Philokalia" with the word "benevolence", which means: love for the beautiful, the sublime, the good. Most directly, it contains an explanation of the hidden life in the Lord Jesus Christ. The secret true Christian life in our Lord Jesus Christ is spiced up, developed and perfected by the grace of God the Father, by the grace of the Most Holy Spirit, which is present in Christians according to each individual, under the guidance of Christ the Lord himself, who promised to be with us. in all days, and inseparably.
The grace of God calls everyone to such a life. It is not only available to everyone, but it is also obligatory, since the essence of Christianity is in it. Not all who are invited participate in it, just as not all who participate in it are its communicants to the same extent. The elect enter deep into it, climbing high up its steps.
