The story of one old woman

There is such a common expression in modern spiritual literature: life has ended - life has begun. Meanwhile, the border, as if inevitably arising from the collision of two similar words: Life, Life, - not always, not always, not at all in all saints. In the fate of Mother Ambrosia (Obbercheva, 1870-1944) does not need, it seems to separate the way to the world from the path of inochetic, existence on freedom from wandering in references, as its fate has exceptional internal integrity. Her monasticism was laid out the entire previous life in the world, the experience of suffering and compassion found at freedom, helped to stand in conclusion. Mother Ambrose, Alexander Dmitrievna Obberchev, a nun and doctor wrote the story of his many years of life, for her, of course, only life, and, perhaps, that is why the hope is so great, which is the most real life. The book was drawn up by her diaries, which she lied all his life and took out, put in order, supplemented at the request of the closest before the death.
