thumb|Silouan the Athonite Silouan the Athonite (January 17, 1866 – September 24, 1938) also sometimes referred to as Silouan of Athos, Saint Silvanus the Athonite or Staretz Silouan was an Eastern Orthodox monk of Russian origin, who was a poet and monk of the St. Panteleimon Monastery. I am thirsty of God Silvano del monte Athos, Ho sete di Dio, Gribaudi, Milano, 1992 (in Italian) Incipit My soul thirsts for the Lord and with tears I seek him. How shouldn't I look for you? You first found me and allowed me to taste the sweetness of the Holy Spirit and my soul loved You to the end. Quotes Attraverso la preghiera l'uomo è preservato dal peccato perché la mente che prega è intenta in Dio e con spirito umile sta davanti al volto del Signore, conosciuto solo dall'anima in preghiera. Through prayer, man is preserved from sin because the praying mind is intent on God and in a humble spirit stands before the face of the Lord, known only by the praying soul. Chi non amerà i nemici non potrà conoscere veramente il Signore e la dolcezza dello Spirito Santo. Lo Spirito santo ci insegna ad amare i nemici così che l'anima si affanna per loro come per i veri figli. He who will not love enemies will not be able to truly know the Lord and the sweetness of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit teaches us to love enemies so that the soul labors for them as for true children. Chiunque ha conosciuto l'amore di Dio, ama tutto il mondo e non si lamenta mai, perché il dolore passeggero a causa di Dio produce eterna gioia. Whoever has known the love of God, loves the whole world and never complains, because the passing pain because of God produces eternal joy. Dio si fa conoscere solo nello Spirito Santo, e colui il quale a causa della sua superbia tenta di conoscere il Creatore con la sua sola mente è cieco e sordo. God makes himself known only in the Holy Spirit, and he who because of his pride attempts to know the Creator with his mind alone is blind and deaf. La preghiera fatta solo per abitudine, senza un cuore contrito per i peccati commessi, non è gradita a Dio. Prayer made only out of habit, without a contrite heart for the sins committed, is not pleasing to God. Il Signore non vuole affatto che l'anima si trovi nello scoraggiamento e nel dubbio riguardo la sua salvezza. The Lord does not want the soul to be in discouragement and doubt about its salvation at all. Se non si pensasse a Dio nemmeno si pregherebbe. If one did not think of God one would not even pray. Se Tu non mi avessi attirato con il tuo amore, allora non ti avrei cercato come Ti cerco. If You had not lured me with your love, then I would not have sought you as I seek You.
