Goldfrank This essay originated at the time that ASEC was in its early stages and in response to a requestthat I write something aboutthe church Fathers in medieval Rus'. I already knew finding the patrology concerning just the original Greek and Syriac texts is nothing short of a researcher’s black hole. Given all the complexities in­ volved in the manuscript traditions associated with such superstar names as Basil of Caesarea, Ephrem the Syrian, John Chrysostom, and Macarius of wherever (no kidding), to name a few1 and all of The author would like to thank the staffs of the Hilandar Research Library at The Ohio State University and, of course, the monks of Hilandar Monastery for encouraging the microfilming of the Hilandar Slavic manuscripts by Ohio State. I thank the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection; and Georgetown University’s Woodstock Theological Library as well as its Lauinger Library Reference Room for their kind help. Georgetown University’s Office of the Provost and Center for Eurasian, East European and Russian Studies provided summer research support. Thanks also to Jennifer Spock and Donald Ostrowski for their wise suggestions. 1 An excellent example of this is Plested, Macarian Legacy.

  • Hesychasm 13
    one H esychasm i e are distinguished from other animals by our inex- Whaustible quest for self-knowledge. We possess an inner reflective power that drives us in a relentless search for a meaningful existence. Instinct is the driving force in an animal to hunt for food, to mate and perpetuate the species, and to build a dwelling place of protection from other marauding animals. But only human beings possess the intellectual and volitional faculties that allow us to ask the one question that other animals cannot ask: Why do I exist? We can rove over the earth, conquering oceans, moun- tains, and all conceivable natural forces. But eventually we must return to ourselves and enter within to search for the talisman that will unlock the hidden treasures of unending happiness. However, what most of us experience when we do “return to ourselves” is a general spirit of emptiness. Dr. Rollo May described this general malaise: . the chief problem of people in the middle decade of the twentieth century is emptiness. By 11 12 P RAYER OF THE H EART that I mean not only that many people do not know what they want; they often do not have any clear idea of what they feel. When they talk about lack of autonomy, or lament their inability to make decisions—difficulties which are present in all decades—it soon becomes evident that their underlying problem is that they have no definite experience of their own desires or wants. Thus they feel swayed this way and that, with painful feelings of powerlessness, because they feel vacuous, empty.1 MEANINGLESSNESS A universal angst or anxiety fills the heart of modern man with a sense of a loss of direction, of meaninglessness.
