Summary/Abstract: The volume of Father Emilianos Simonopetritul is a good preparation for the realities of illness, suffering and death. The spiritual quality of man is observed, first of all, during the trials of life and, most clearly, on the bed of death. Essential criteria of the depth of the spiritual life, sickness and suffering can lead the one who assumes them sincerely and courageously to the discovery of new spiritual gifts. Both are fundamental preparations for the moment of death, the culmination of our sufferings and trials.
