The State of Doxology (κατάσταση δοξολογίας) According to St Paisios the Hagiorite

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the doxological teachings of St Paisios (the volume On Prayer), which direct the faithful towards a “state of glory,” serving as a response to secularization. Using the method of source text analysis, the following are sequentially discussed: Eastern doxology, the conditions for glorification, asceticism, and the phenomenon of the uncreated light. It is demonstrated that this state is a dynamic path requiring, among other things, a transformation of the mind, providing an opportunity for a sensory experience of God in earthly life.

Keywords:

St Paisius the Hagiorite, hesychasm, Trinitarian doxology, state of glory, uncreated light
