St Ignatius Brianchaninov (1807-1867) is renowned as a writer on
the spiritual life in general. What is less well known is that
throughout most of his adult life he struggled with chronic illness
and disability. Thus his own life experience disposed him to
reflect on the meaning of suffering for human existence and how
through it we might find "a harbor for our hope." The saint
frequently returns to these themes in many of his letters, newly
translated into English and excerpted, adapted and presented here
in thematic subject groups. For the translator these writings
provided a source of consolation and encouragement during her
husband's lengthy illness and eventual death. They will equally
benefit all who suffer physical or spiritual pain, however great or
small, and reveal how the love of God may be experienced in its
midst.
