Harbor for Our Hope

On Acquiring Peace Amidst Suffering

St. Ignatius Brianchaninov

St. Ignatius was one of the leading spiritual writers of the nineteenth century Russia. What is less well known is that throughout most of his adult life he struggled with chronic illness and disability. Thus his own life experience and Christian faith disposed him to frequently and profoundly reflect on the meaning of human existence and suffering. In this book, the reader will find excerpts from his correspondence with monks, nuns, friends, and family members in which he gives advice, exhortation and consolation and through this spiritual guidance offers to all of us a way to find a harbor for our hope.
