If there's any way you could make contact with an Orthodox monastery, or even just a parish, some elders and priests are willing to give guidance and hear confession over the phone.

Also, you may benefit from reading "Wounded by Love" by St. Porphyrios.

Book 1

Book 2

Book 3

​

Also download the app called "Catena" on your phone. It's free and it's the bible with patristic commentary for pretty much every verse.

​

EDIT: my best advice would be to ask for book recommendations from your spiritual father; i.e. the priest you confess to. They would have a better idea of what you should be reading. When I first started meeting with my priest regularly I told him I had been reading some of the ascetic fathers and he told me to stop. He was right, I wasn't ready for that and am still not ready for that. Let the Church guide you.

Wounded by Love by Elder Porphyrios.

Half of it is the autobiography of a boy that ran off to a mt. Athos at the start of the 20th century and his life long experience as a Christian monk. The second half of the text is writing about how to have a relationship with Christ, specifically focused on eros, and worship, pray, and labor in the spirit.

Here is a documentary on the autobiography in the book.

Sounds a little bit like St. Porphyrios the Kavoskalyvite. The book about his life, Wounded by Love, is written in first-person, but I believe it was actually transcribed by nuns.

Wounded by Love, by Elder Porphyrios

I didn't have any chance to speak to the priest tonight, but I did speak with one of the other Monks, and what he had to say was most interesting.

Basically, if I could paraphrase him, is that our joy as Orthodox is really the joy of the resurrection, and never is this more clearly seen than at Pascha which is fast approaching, and that if you really want to understand Orthodox joy you should really try to be there for Pascha. It is the joy of Pascha that gets us through the year.

As far as books go, he recommended "Wounded by Love" by Elder Porphyrious. I've heard it's very good, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet myself.
