Since in recent years, pilgrimages to Father Cleopa's tomb have intensified, to our and everyone's joy, it seemed fitting to republish The Life of Father Cleopa in an updated edition much improved by both biographical information and numerous original photographs.

The images, having been unused until now, enrich the text, and considerably contribute to this long-awaited work.

We cannot forget Father Cleopa's asceticism, his love for Christ, the poor, and the joy with which he greeted every one of his spiritual children who came to him for comforting and spiritual benefit.
