Synopsis "On the Passions and Repentance: Asceticism for non-monastics (in English)"
Presented here is a collection of talks and sermons by Russian Orthodox Archpriest Georgy Neifakh (1953-2005). Father Georgy - a former academic biologist, and later the builder and senior priest of the Church of the Falling-Asleep of the Mother of God in the city of Kurchatov, Russia - has spoken in these sermons and talks about family life, the upbringing of children, prayerful concern for our neighbors and kin, sincerity in faith and the harm to the soul that comes from merely external piety, the possibility of resisting the temptations peculiar to our time, and much else that is important for everyone. Originally given during Lent, these reflections on the eight categories of temptation and sin - "the passions," as the Church names them - reveal both Fr. Georgy's insight into our human condition and his refreshingly practical advice for recognizing and dealing with these temptations. While Fr. Georgy does not permit us excuses for our sin, he offers his pastoral wisdom in a spirit of humility, as one who faces the same struggles we do, offering companionship and encouragement, as well as instruction, along the way.
