Becoming disabled for health reasons at the age of 36, the Monk Ambrose did not become despondent. And the more severe the reverend’s attacks of illness, the more he grew spiritually. Knowing firsthand what physical suffering is, the Monk Ambrose always found the strength to help others. His genuine love for his neighbors, kindness, ease of communication, everyday humor, and spiritual advice passed through his heart had a life-giving effect on those suffering. After communicating with him, people were spiritually transformed and became different. The advice and instructions of the Monk Ambrose came to us in his letters to numerous spiritual children – laity and monastics. This book will introduce us to the saint’s letters dedicated to diseases, the reasons for their occurrence and the Christian attitude towards them.
