A volume of Paths and Means to Holiness / Holiness: Man’s Supreme Destiny / Man’s Spiritual Evolution

“In this lecture, I propose to discuss the ways which, according to traditional Orthodox Christian teaching, lead to sanctity, to Sainthood. I shall preface my discussion with some remarks about the origin of the Orthodox ideal of the Saint, and with an explanation of the Orthodox conception of a Saint. [...]Orthodoxy teaches that a Saint is a person who has become a partaker of Divine Grace, is inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit. Such a person is free from every vice and a possessor of all the virtues.”
