Rev. Hilarion

Rev. Hilarion, the monastery and confessor of the monastery, the humble student of the Monk Elders of the Optina Leo and Macarius, for many years was a cell of Father Macarius, and after his death continued the spiritual path of senile service along with the Monk Ambrose. “And now the affairs of the monastery were in this order: the elder Ambrose himself had his spiritual father of a humble ascetic, former a student of the elders Leonid and Makarii, the monastery hieromonk Pimen, who confessed to the monastery of Hylarion’s father, and Father Hilarion was at the old man Ambrose. Thus, a close spiritual spiritual spiritual was established in the Optina Desert. A connection, a knot of which or a center – if I may say so – was the elder Ambrose. ” The Monk Elder Barsonuphius told the monastery, “when Father Macarius was dying, he predicted that after him his father Ambrose, Father Hilarion and Father Anatoly and that oldness would not be in a monastery.”
