Begin with a brief reflection; stay with its question.
These selections from Saint John of Kronstadt’s early diary connect knowledge of God with truthful self-examination. The 238 reflections, followed by A Look at My Past, arise from prayer and the demands of priestly life. Distraction, impatience, resentment, and the desire for praise become occasions to return to Scripture, repentance, and worship. The short form makes this a compact entry into John’s spiritual writing.
Inside this book
