The Night Demons Filled My Room – St. Silouan the Athonite

The Demons Attacked Me – St. Silouan the Athonite In this profound spiritual testimony from St. Silouan the Athonite, we hear one of the most striking and honest confessions in Orthodox spirituality: the reality of spiritual warfare, humility, and the unseen struggle of the soul. St. Silouan recounts how demons assaulted him in his cell, how pride opens the door to torment, and how the Lord revealed the path of salvation through one terrifying yet grace-filled command: “Keep your mind in hell and do not despair.” This teaching reveals that spiritual warfare is not fought with fear or imagination, but with humility, repentance, patience, and unwavering hope in God’s mercy. It is a message of deep consolation for anyone struggling with anxiety, inner turmoil, temptation, or despair. 🕊️ Key themes in this reading: The reality of demonic attacks in the spiritual life Why pride brings torment and humility brings peace The meaning of “keep your mind in hell and do not despair” How grace restores peace to the soul Inner warfare, repentance, and hope in Christ 📚 Source: Saint Silouan the Athonite — by Saint Sophrony Sakharov Subscribe for carefully translated Orthodox patristic teachings for English-speaking Christians seeking depth, sobriety, and truth. #OrthodoxChristianity #StSilouan #SpiritualWarfare #MountAthos #OrthodoxFaith #PatristicWisdom #InnerStruggle #Humility #Repentance #OrthodoxMonasticism
