WHAT DOES STARETZ MEAN IN ENGLISH?

staretz

Starets

A starets is an elder of a Russian Orthodox monastery who functions as venerated adviser and teacher. Elders or spiritual fathers are charismatic spiritual leaders whose wisdom stems from God as obtained from ascetic experience. It is believed that through ascetic struggle, prayer and Hesychasm, the Holy Spirit bestows special gifts onto the elder including the ability to heal, prophesy, and most importantly, give effective spiritual guidance and direction. Elders are looked upon as being an inspiration to believers and an example of saintly virtue, steadfast faith, and spiritual peace. Elders are not appointed by any authority; they are simply recognized by the faithful as being people "of the Spirit". An elder, when not in prayer or in voluntary seclusion, receives visitors and spends time conversing with them, offering a blessing and confession, and praying. People often petition the elder for intercessionary prayers, believing that the prayer of an elder is particularly effective. Personal confessions to elders are encouraged, although not all of them are ordained to the priesthood.
