The volume “The Letters and Poems of Elder Joseph the Hesychast” has been unveiled by the publishing house of the Holy and Great Monastery Vatopedi.
The Elder Joseph the Hesychast (1898-1959) was a charismatic personality of 20th century’s Orthodox spirituality. He became a monk on Mount Athos at a young age. Like many gifted monks, he had many out-of-body experiences and visions, and he as well felt his end coming. From his monastic group (“Synodeia”) came many famous abbots and spiritual fathers.
It should be noted that there are many practical aspects of this book that the ordinary individual can use and apply in his own spiritual journey. It is also very helpful for spiritual guiders about the way Elder Joseph chose to have his touch with his spiritual children.
