Conversations with Young People “Lord, what do I seek in this pain? To meet myself and You, O Lord, more deeply, more profoundly. You are my God; everything I experience, everything I have, everything I do, everything that happens to me is Your gift!” - Schemanun Siluana Vlad “I chose the title Offering ourselves, we enter into His joy to express as concisely as possible God’s work with us each time we open ourselves up and thus receive Him in all that is ours. Mother Siluana’s answers to the questions posed in this volume, structured in four main chapters - Spiritual Unrest; Spiritual Warfare; Other Concerns; Questions and Quests - are ways we can enter into the Joy of our Savior.” - Abbess Sofronia, St. Silouan the Athonite Monastery, Iasi, Romania
