Somewhat problematic, I think, is the not infrequent distinction made between anxiety and depression as physical/medical problems and as so-called “spiritual” problems. There is no such distinction. We do not have “spiritual” problems that are not also physical problems, simply because we do not exist as some sort of divisible creatures.

On the day of the synaxis of all the saints of Diveyevo, we post these thoughts of a pilgrim, to remember the Diveyevo nuns—the many dedicated servants of God and daughters of St. Seraphim whose labors perhaps only God and the saint know.

None of the twelve apostles other than the apostle John the Theologian died a natural death, no one peacefully reposed surrounded by family, but their labors were built upon fasting and prayer, without regard for the time of year or season of vacations.
