Summary/Abstract: It is very well known in the orthodox balkan world that the holy Abbot Paisie Velicikofski from Neamts, is one of the greatest ascetic and spiritual father of our Orthodox Church and represents an example for all Christians. For those who are living in monasteries, he is a model of ascetic effort and spiritual living. He fully fulfills the quality of Christian, monk, abbot and man of culture, being the initiator of an important translation work of patristic, liturgical and canonical writings, a work that he liked very much. Regarding the philolocal activity and the concern of Saint Paisius for the writings of the great mystical and ascetic fathers of the Church, shows him, without a doubt, as the first Russian, renewer of the monastic life in the Balkans, following the Athonite way of life, thus renewing the ascetic tradition and restoring the practice of heart-mental prayer, which had been almost forgotten.
