THE ORDER OF THE SUBJECTS
ACALLISTUS AND IGNATIUS XANTHOPULUS, MONKS.
THE MOST ACCURATE METHOD AND RULE, WITH GOD, OF THE MONKS CALLISTUS AND IGNATIUS XANTHOPULUS, containing the testimonies of the saints concerning those who have chosen to live a life of peace and monasticism; concerning their guidance, life, and regimen; and concerning how great the goods are that tranquility provides to those who enter into it with reason. The present material is divided into a hundred chapters. This treatise has a preamble, 635 which also serves as the first chapter, concerning the divine and supernatural grace which is bestowed upon the faithful through the Holy Spirit. 635 2. That through the questioning of a certain brother and according to his mind, and for the observance of the precepts of the Fathers, this argument has been explained. 637 3. The end proposed in every affair is instruction regarding what the foundation is. 637 4. That every beginning of life consists in fulfilling the laws of the Savior, while the end is the return to the perfect grace of the most holy and life-giving Spirit given to us from the beginning through divine baptism. 637 5. Concerning grace, and how we may attain it; and what things corrupt it, and what things purge it again. 639 6. That in holy baptism we receive the gift of divine grace itself; but after we have obscured it with our desires, we purge it again by the observance of the commandments. 641 7. That he who acts according to God ought to execute all His commandments, but ought to attribute the greatest part of the work to the first of all, and to the generations, as it were. 643 8. That the beginning of all the operation of divine grace is the calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ with faith, and the peace and charity that arise from it. 643 9. That from these, as from a single heap, all goods are supplied to us. 645 10. That our Lord Jesus Christ left to his disciples at the time of his saving passion, as ultimate commands and a divine testament, what he accomplished even after his resurrection. 645
B18. That on account of the mandates and the Lord our God Christ, when occasion presses, we ought not to spare our own lives. 679 19. The natural method of the approach of the inner heart, and of prayer working together with it simultaneously, which is: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me"; and this method pertains also to the recollection of the mind. 679 20. Concerning the natural method by nasal inspiration, and together with it, the invocation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 681 21. That holy Chrysostom, as well as other holy Fathers, wrote for us how to pray in Christ Jesus our Lord; and in the inmost heart; and he commends this prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me." 681 22. Further, concerning that same prayer through nasal inspiration with attention in the inmost heart, and the memory of Jesus. 681 23. That he who wishes to keep watch spiritually ought, especially when he begins, to sit at the time of prayer in a tranquil and dark cell, because in this way the mind and thought are naturally gathered together. 681 24. That to all these things, the invocation of our Lord Jesus Christ and of his holy name with faith in the heart provides constancy to the mind; and the natural method through nasal inspiration in the heart, and that remaining in a tranquil and dark place, and the like, cooperate with it in a certain way. 683 25. That he who is tranquil ought to separate the evening from the dawn, and traverse the time; and the beginning of the doctrine according to breadth. 683 26. That he ought to traverse the time from the dawn until the morning hour. 685 27. That he ought to conduct himself from the morning hour until the meal. 687 28. Concerning custody from idleness; and that it is necessary even for him who is tranquil to observe ecclesiastical tradition. 689 29. Further, concerning prayer, and that one ought to pray always. 691 30. Concerning the corporal regimen: how he who is tranquil ought to nourish himself. 695 31. How he who struggles ought to eat at the fourth and sixth hour. 697 32. That he ought to eat at the third and fifth hour. 699 33. That he ought to eat on the Sabbath; and concerning vigils, and how at that time one ought to eat. 699 34. That one ought to eat on Lord's days; and concerning some others, and concerning this, and concerning molestation and humility. 703 35. Concerning fasting, and primarily through the great Quadragesima. 703 36. Concerning judgment, and in species, and that that which is done with moderation is not honor; and concerning subjection. 703 37. How the tranquil person ought to spend the time between the meal and the sunset; and that one ought to believe that in labor and the measure of our operation the perseverance of divine gifts has been granted to us. 705 38. That every operation ought to be pure. 709 39. Concerning the number of genuflections during the span of the night and day. 711 40. That not only, as was said, is the distribution of divine gifts granted to us for the struggle and our operation, but also according to our habit, and ability, and faith, and the natural disposition granted to us. 713 41. Concerning most perfect discretion; and who lives according to the flesh, and who lives carnally; and who lives according to nature, and animally; and who lives above nature and converses spiritually. 713 42. Further, concerning discretion, by way of example. 715 43. Concerning conversion and change one by one. And of the glory of eminent humility. 717 44. Concerning penitence, purity, and perfection. 719 45. Concerning the five works of beginners, and leaders in peace, namely, prayer, psalmody, reading, meditation, and the labor of the hands. 721 46. Whence those who wish to live in peace with those according to reason are, and what is its beginning, and increase/growth, and what is the progress and what is the perfection. 723

May this not happen. 809
