In this live stream video, Mother Siluana (Vlad) delves into the profound connection between prayer and music, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Fr. Dumitru Staniloae and the compositions of Arvo Pärt. Through the lens of the Jesus Prayer, she unveils prayer's transformative power, likening it to a symphony of the soul that penetrates the depths of human experience. By intertwining divine mercy with human emotion, the prayer becomes a sacred melody that resonates with the essence of spiritual expression. As we engage in this practice, we become vessels for divine grace, embodying the truth that prayer is the most beautiful music.
Mother Siluana reposed in the Lord on June 8th, 2021. Her ministry in the Romanian Orthodox Church is impressive. She was the abbess of the Convent of St. Silouan in Iasi, coordinator of the Training and Counseling Center "The Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel" and through her many conferences she created a bridge between the young generation and the Orthodox Church in Romania.
