- Father, they say that our time is a time of misery for the good confessors and the elders, and one can not find spiritual life in the monasteries.
It is especially difficult with this in the nunneries, what to do when someone wants to be a monk?
- I disagree with this statement. If one comes to God with a call to a monastery, the Lord will give strength, consolation and spiritual help. And salvation is and will be done in the monasteries. It's better than being in the world.
