The Forgotten Medicine: The Mystery of Repentance

By Archimandrite Seraphim Aleksiev
Translated by Ralitsa Doynova

Volume I of The Spiritual Writings of Archimandrite Seraphim Aleksiev

“If[...]blessed transformation and heavenly consolation come through the Mystery of Repentance, why do we not hasten to partake of it? Archimandrite Seraphim in The Forgotten Medicine details the reasons many have for not coming to Confession, and for each of these he clearly brings forth the truth of the matter. For those who feel awkward because of not knowing how to approach Confession, he explains in depth how to prepare before, what to do when we are with the confessor, and what to do afterwards. He then writes of the wondrous changes in the lives of those who enter into the Mystery of Repentance, illustrating with several true accounts.”
