St. Nectarios of Pentapolis and the Island of Aegina: The Monastic Ideal: Volume 2 - The Catechetical Letters, by Cleopas Strongylis, translated by Christopher Tripoulas

St. Nectarios wrote his Catechetical Letters between 1904 and 1908, during his last four years as Director of Rizareios Seminary. These letters were sent to the nuns living in Holy Trinity Convent, whom the saint himself installed there prior to taking up permanent residence in the convent at the end of 1908 ... Although the Catechetical Letters were sent exclusively to the sisters of the newly established Holy Trinity Convent, they nevertheless serve as a valuable guide for every pious Christian; they present the saint's advice on how to live a virtuous life in Christ.
