Abstract:
Naturally, after Father Sophian passed in 2002 from this transient life to the everlasting one, in which His Lord Jesus Christ received him and through Whom we can benefit from Father Sophian’s prayers. His spiritual inheritance could not be “put it under a bowl”. His disciples cannot not refrain from confessing their experience with the Father, cannot keep silence and not tell the wonders that have witnessed themselves or heard from others concerning the power of Father Sophian prayer. After making a short presentation of Father Sophian personality, Father Mihail recounts some of his spiritual impressions he experienced around Father Sophian, after which he expounds a few stories, he heard from some humble Christians. Here is maybe the most interesting part, where facts are speaking, where we can see that the power of prayer can yield “the good crop”. Shortly, it is about people who asked Fr. Sophian for help, and he managed to give it, but from him, but from God.
