Bonifatius of Theophaneia, blessed The Joy of Being an Orthodox Translation from Russian by Adrian Tănăsescu-Vlas Published: 2011 In an edenic landscape close to Kiev, named Theophaneia by the Romanian-born metropolitan Gabriel Bănulescu, struggled one of the great ascetics of 19th-century Ukraine. Blessed Bonifatius, whom the Russian Church is preparing to include among its saints, was the father of Kiev’s poor, who always found comfort and shelter with him. The present book brings to you a treasury of advice and teachings on the joy of being an Orthodox, stemming from the love-filled heart of this ascetic whose theology was not rooted in books but in his love for God and His creatures.
