Saint Photios said that the writings
of St. Hesychius, more than any others, are suitable for those who do not
entertain the abstract, but direct their energy to the practical works of the
active spiritual life. His fifth-century works are found in the Philokalia, an
eleven-hundred-year collection of Orthodox wisdom. He was a student of Saint Gregory
the Theologian. Later he became a monk of the Church's most famous teachers. He
was known for his ability to bring clarity to the Gospels. Saint Theodore the
Studite called him one of the great teachers of the Church, together with Saint
Basil the Great and Saint John Chrysostom.
+By the holy
intercessions of Your Saints and Holy Martyrs, O Christ Our God have mercy on
us and save us. Amen.
