EVIL THOUGHTS and IMAGES when we pray. Why...
Fr Seraphim Aldea from Mull Monastery – the Orthodox Monastery of All Celtic Saints on the Isle of Mull in Scotland – reminds us that the Fathers of the Church advise us never to respond to the demonic attacks that happen during prayer, but to refocus our attention on the Life-Giving Person of God.

Thoughts are like Airplanes flying in the Air,If you ignore them, there is no Problem.
If you pay attention to them, you create an Airport inside your Head, and permit them to Land.

Dispatch day is Monday, November 16. By purchasing your copy now you are helping the Monastery to pay for its printing, and making sure you receive it before Christmas. It is obvious that this temptation affects many of us, and it is a joy for everyone at the Monastery that we can be of help, by sharing with you what we have learnt from the experience of the Saints of the Church. May we all be blessed, dear ones.
