U zbirci je sabrano tristo izreka više od pedeset pravoslavnih svetaca Palestine, Sirije, Egipta, Grčke, Rusije, Srbije, Crne Gore, Gruzije. Pošto je prvih tisuću godina nakon Kristova rođenja rimska Crkva ulazila u porodicu pravoslavnih Crkava, u našem zborniku se mogu pročitati i izreke drevnih svetaca koji su živjeli na teritorijima suvremene Italije, Engleske, Francuske, Tunisa-sve to čini zajedničko duhovno naslijeđe Pravoslavne Crkve. Najstarija izreka je bila zapisana u drugoj polovici prvog stoljeća, a najmlađa-u drugoj polovici dvadesetog stoljeća. Gdje i kada god živjeli, tko god bili, pravoslavni sveci govore o jedinstvenoj duhovnoj realnosti. Zato njihove izreke tako skladno nadopunjavaju jedna drugu. U devetnaestom stoljeću sv. Ignacije Brjančaninov je pisao: "Kada u jesenjoj, vedroj noći promatram čisto nebo, zasijano bezbrojnim zvijezdama toliko različite veličine, i vidim da sve one isijavaju istu svjetlost, tada govorim sebi: "takva su djela Otaca“. Kada u ljetnom danu promatram prostrano more, pokriveno mnoštvom različitih brodova, i njihova jedra, raširena poput bijelih labudovih krila, brodove koji se brzo kreću po istome vjetru, prema istom cilju, prema istom pristaništu, tada govorim sebi: "takva su djela Otaca. "Kada čujem, skladni, brojni zbor, u kojemu razni glasovi u dražesnoj harmoniji pjevaju istu božansku pjesmu, tada govorim sebi: "takva su djela Otaca."

" When in the summer day watching the vast sea, covered a multitude of different ships, and their sails, spread out like the white swan wings, ships that are moving quickly at the same wind, the same goal, the same pier, then I tell myself: "these are the works of the Fathers.
