English-speaking Christians owe Paulist Press an enormous debt of

appreciation of our spiritual heritage. Spiritual Life
Pseudo-Macarius: The Fifty Spiritual Homilies and The Great Letter
translated and edited with an introduction by George A. Maloney,
S.J., preface by Kallistos Ware If the love of God dwells within
you, it is necessary that such love bring forth other fruit, such
as fraternal love, meekness, sincerity, perseverance in prayer, and
zeal and all virtues. But since the treasure is precious, so also
great are the labors, necessary to obtain it. From the Great Letter
George A. Maloney, S.J., provides a great service by bringing to
the public the first modern English translation of the spiritual
homilies and Great Letter of Pseudo- Macarius, a Syrian monk of the
fourth century whose identity is still the subject of scholarly
investigation. The Fifty Homilies, in the form of a practical,
monastic pedagogy, reveal the typical traits of Eastern Christian
asceticism, with particular emphasis on the spiritual combat, the
action of the Holy Spirit, and the importance of interior prayer.
The Great Letter discusses the purging of the passions to bring the
Christian into a state of tranquility and integration, and
addresses the monastic community with instructions regarding
organization, humility, and prayer.
