I read with joy about the job in Kursk. Father Isaac from Optina is one of the saints who helped me a lot during the difficult years with small children, especially through his patience. Has anyone also talked about how he ran the monastery after taking it over from Abbot Ambrose?

I also remember those old photos, where it is written how Isaac organized that monastery after Ambrose. It is good that they mentioned this in Kursk, an old monk in Batumi often recalled his work. It would be helpful to read more about this.
