Two Homilies on the Sacrament of Baptism
Два слова о святом таинстве крещения
Two homilies on baptism not as an outward rite but as inner transformation and birth into life in Christ: following St Paul, immersion is death to sin and resurrection to holiness, and the grace of the Spirit imprints new dispositions on the soul that freedom must make its own. Text on Wikisource.
