How To Live A Holy Life: A Day of Holy Life, Or the Answer to the Question, How Can I Live A Holy Life?

Metropolitan Gregory (Postnikov) 1784-1860 of St. Petersburg
Original Russian printed in 1904
Seraphim F. Englehardt, translator
Translated from the 1994 Russian edition by the publisher, “Otchii Dom”

“Do you call yourself a Christian? Are you a Christian in actual fact? Do you live as a Christian should live, that is, do you fervently desire and earnestly seek after that which a true Christian desires and seeks after? [...]So that you will be able to more quickly get started, I offer instructions for one day. If you faithfully follow these instructions, you will see that you will need no other instructions. You should pass every subsequent day just as you did the first one.”
—“Appeal to the Christian”
