The article, based on the patristic heritage, gives an interpretation of experimental data revealing the trends in the choice of modern adolescents’ way of life. Particular attention is paid to the confrontation of psilophism (hedonism) and eucharistic lifestyle. The concept of the Eucharistic dialogue as the basis and method of overcoming the secularization of adolescents’ consciousness is considered. The indispensability of reliance on Orthodox tradition in the family, in Russian culture and literature is emphasized.
