About this listen

St. Philaret of Moscow is the Russian Chrysostom. His mouth overflowed from a heart enlarged and illumined by the Holy Spirit, and his teaching has been a fountain of life to the Christian generations that have succeeded the great bishop.

Here, for the first time in an English-language translation, we have a thematic collection of his sermons dedicated to living the Christian life.

The master pedagogue covers numerous foundational spiritual realities including being born again, building a life upon the foundation of the fear of God, the centrality of gratitude, the cultivation of zeal, the purification of the heart, the nourishing of poverty of spirit, as well as more targeted subjects such as childbearing, work, preparations for prayer, and how to consecrate Sunday to God.

This audiobook contains a feast of faith and soul guidance that, if followed, will bring forth abundant spiritual treasure.

There’s just something different about the work of the Saints, and this collection of sermons of St Philaret of Moscow is no different. These homilies encourage us to forego the trappings of this temporal life and to set our gazes higher upon the priceless and eternal. St Philaret’s biblical understanding is profound and effortless, yet his explanations and instruction are simple and actionable (though not easy). And all of this in Fr Josiah Trenham’s calm and steady narration. Highly recommend to anyone looking to deepen their spiritual life and understanding or those wanting to see what the Orthodox faith looks like through some of its most faithful sermons.
