Call Upon Me and I Will Help You | Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia | Orthodox Book

“When I am no longer here, call upon me and I will come at once to help you! I will be beside you...”

—Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia
These words are not a metaphor. They are a promise. Thousands of believers have experienced their fulfilment by calling upon the saint in prayer after his repose and receiving help.
Call Upon Me and I Will Help You is a book about what it truly means to live in Christ—not in theory or beautiful words, but within the heart, every day and in every thought.
With astonishing simplicity, Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia shows us the way:
“This is the path: love for Christ! Through His love you will become humble. If you want love for Christ to grow, all other loves—of the body, of self and of the passions in general—must become quiet... Do you not understand? Let yourself be absorbed by Christ!”

What you will find in this book:
Testimonies and spiritual guidance from Saint Porphyrios about the most important work in Christian life: growing in love for Christ. These living words, spoken to an ordinary person, reach the heart directly and call it to spiritual awakening.
The saint clearly explains a paradox many experience without understanding: when spiritual things rise, carnal thoughts fall, and vice versa. The path is not a fierce struggle with sin, but absorption in Christ until everything else becomes quiet of itself.

Who this book is for:
For the person whose prayer feels dry and wants to rekindle it. For anyone overwhelmed by the passions and unsure where to begin. For those seeking a living, present spiritual guide and finding him in Saint Porphyrios, who promised to remain beside us.
