Kondili, Eleni The Little Philokalia of the Heart Translation from Greek by Zenaida Anamaria Luca We know the Church Fathers directly address children’s feelings, troubles and anxieties. All we have to do is allow them to reach the Fathers’ words. Young people seem to have an advantage over us in approaching patristic texts, for they are genuinely responsive to them, they are receptive to everything deep, far from our earthly concerns. They are uncertain about their future life and reject the solutions we propose. The adult willing to make these writings known to the young will be pleasantly surprised, as they will not be indifferent but on the contrary they will be interested in pursuing substantial discussions. Such conversations, as well as the images they retain from reading the works of Fathers such as St John Chrysostom or Abba Dorotheus, will be recollected years later to become major thinking benchmarks.
