PHILOKALIA MINISTRIES

A certain father came to Abba Arsenius and said: “Father, my son has grown distant from me. There was a time when we spoke with ease, but now every conversation is brief. Often I do not know when he will come or whether he wishes to see me at all. I have searched my memory a thousand times to discover where I failed him. At times I blame myself; at times I blame him. My heart has become weary, for I love him, yet I cannot seem to reach him. Tell me, Father, what should I do?”
