My Recollections of Papa Tykhon
Through his worldly simplicity and humility, joy and love, Papa Tykhon constantly offered prayers for the whole world. He was devoted to the Theotokos and was a worthy minister of the Most High God, the celebration of the Divine Liturgy being his particular delight. A man of love, prayer, compunction and humility, he demonstrated his love of heavenly things by his constant remembrance of death, by his joy, and by his “laying aside of all earthly cares.”
