Description
For the book : Climax A’ (Reasons A’-F’)
The Climax, also known as the Climax of Paradise, a work by Saint John of Sinai, is one of the most beloved ascetic and spiritual books, not only among monks but also among those Christians who consciously strive to combat the passions and cultivate the virtues. The content of the work is addressed to souls dedicated to the Lord, who have renounced worldly things and seek perfection. It describes the various stages of their lives and, as if with a kind of “ladder”, it raises them from the lowest to the highest. The 30 steps – the same as the Words – of the Ladder, starting with the renunciation of the vain world and departure, end in the trinity of the virtues of love, hope and faith. Although the Climax is addressed to monks, it also contains a multitude of teachings for Christians who live in the world and are interested in the salvation of their souls. For concepts such as repentance, sorrow, obedience, remembrance of death, anger, resentment, silence, prayer, fasting, faith, hope, love, etc. help in dealing with passions and in acquiring virtue.
