The weather is rainy, the spring is still timid, threatening, but it has already begun and paints the landscapes with beautiful touches that also paint our hearts. Handmade. Of course, the external conditions have no importance in our mental mood, on the contrary, whether "good" or "bad", they lead us to endless beauty, making us enjoy them very much together! Everything has something to say to us, to whisper to us, like exquisite secret ravas of the love of God, the Master, who created and made everything with great love and offered it to us. Let's thank Beauty today too.

Fr. Ephraim, in a unique way, manages to successfully combine his literary talent with his scientific theological formation and his priestly quality, thus offering us texts of high aesthetic perfection but also of theological essence, such as those included in the handbook. With originality, vitality, immediacy and expressiveness, he shows us the genuine Orthodox ethos that he projects through his poetic and narrative skill, something that is highlighted through the various themes that he deals with literary and theologically.
