BOOK REVIEW
Today 2023, this book is still available for a reasonable price. Platina offers a lot of garbage (false elders and world orthodox) but there are still some books available, like this one, that you want to have in your home library.

The Christian who studies the Apostolic Scriptures, writings of the Holy Fathers and Ascetics, or texts of the divine services can enter into a spiritual communion outside of time, with the very authors of these writings. . .

TROPAR
Tone 5
“We run to thee O Ambrose, our Father as to a healing spring.
For thou dost truly instruct us on the path of salvation,
preserving us from misfortune and calamity by the prayers,
consoling us in sorrows of body and soul,
teaching above all by humility, patience and love.
Pray to Christ, the Lover of mankind, and to our Fervent Intercessor
that our souls may be saved”.
KONTAKION
Tone 2
“Having fulfilled the precepts of the Shepherd of shepherds,
thou didst inherit the grace of eldership,
having pity on all who run to thee with faith.
Therefore we, thy children, cry out to thee in love:
Holy Father Ambrose, pray to Christ God that He would save our souls.”
