  • Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of Heaven

    by
    Saint Innocent
    Bishop of Kamchatka, the Kurilian and Aleutian Islands
    Enlightener of America

    First written in Aleut in 1833

I have placed this thread on St. Innocent's writing into Praxis as I do not want this to be merely a book review.

Although I did read this book many years ago while I was in World Orthodoxy (from 1995 to 2011), it did not leave a lasting impression because the ecumenical priests who were directing me did not encourage sanctity as they had "lost" some of their most devout parishioners to True Orthodoxy.

After having experienced Great Lent 2015 immediately following Holy Chrismation and having received the Holy Mysteries during the Pascha celebrations in the True Orthodox Parish of Holy Trinity in Phoenix, Arizona, I have a much better grasp of this little booklet for it is prayer, fasting, and receiving the Holy Mysteries which purify, illuminate, and sanctify us.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
