* * * The Most Blessed Dositheya of Kitaev Translated from Russian by Gheorghita Ciocioi Do you know who was the man who blessed and counseled Most-Blessed Seraphim of Sarov to the great labour, the Saint not long ago shown in the land of Russia? Do you happen to know who commanded him to go straight to the Sarov’s Monastery in order to, once dwelling there, to find a place for prayer and a peaceful refuge for beginning the monastic labours, those labours of whose height the whole orthodox world wondered and which brought to this God-pleasing man a special veneration on earth and the delight of heaven in the skies? The name of this Abbot was Dosithey. A short while after his passing to the never-ending ones, it has been discovered that the famous Abbot was in fact an Abbess... Dositheia. Her humbled and disregarded life glided without one become aware of, in the narrowness of the cave and in monastic seclusion, but her memory, as great athlete of Christ and clear-sighted, was transmitted from generation to generation.
