Overview

Due to life's wounds, many experience a disordered self-image. Bound by pain and fear, they block God's merciful light, love, and forgiveness from entering into their hearts.
Here is the book that will help set you free and open your thirsty soul to receive the torrents of God's compassion and healing.

Each passage is akin to the stroke of a paintbrush on the canvas of an icon, revealing the beauty of God's Word and His compassion at work even in the seemingly mundane events of our lives. These masterful reflections are ideal for reading time in Adoration or during your daily meditation.
Mother Iliana explains that the Word who spoke "You are the light of the world" to His disciples speaks this same word to each of us, His children, who are bound by the darkness of self-rejection. It is in the Father's gaze of love that you will discover who you really are: His own beloved child, an heir to His kingdom, the very light of His eyes.

Through Mother Iliana's "practical mysticism," you will also find:

    • The gift that will transform your life
    • Your wound that most needs healing — and the cure
    • How poverty of spirit prepares you to receive God's riches

    • What attracts God to you (You will be surprised!)
    • One of the highest forms of prayer that you often forget (Can you guess?)


    By the hand of God, you will experience how the pain of your suffering leads to a "monsoon" of love. Above all, you will see how the Father delights in you and waits for you, His beloved child, simply to rest in His arms and gaze into the healing light of His eyes.

    The Father's own light is within you, Mother Iliana shares, a light that radiates to a suffering world. Your story, which is unique and riveting and worth telling, is your entry point into a truly personal relationship with a God who penetrates the very heart of your wounds and waits for you to encounter Him through them and experience His intimate love and healing.

About the Author

Mother Iliana is a nun of Christ the Bridegroom Monastery, a Byzantine Catholic women’s monastery in the Eparchy of Parma, Ohio. She received her bachelor of science in nursing from the Catholic University of America and her master of science in nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. Ten years into her nursing career, as she was working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as a neonatal nurse practitioner, she felt God call her to enter the monastery to become a nurse for souls. She is an iconographer and a spiritual mother, and she often delights her sisters in the monastery with her sense of humor and storytelling abilities.
