PRAYER: The GREAT PRIVILEGE

When man is given the opportunity to get to know the wonderful value of prayer – in relation with some other action which can be in the filed of science, arts, medicine, social and political action – it is not difficult to sacrifice material prosperity in order to enjoy the respite of conversing with God. Prayer is a great privilege which does not come to an end and which infinitelly surpasses the most  worthy achievementsof science, philosophy, art etc. At first the attempts to reach such a privilege may pose a disproportionate difficulty. However, the quest of freedom for prayer may become imperative.

The Hymn of Love

Based on St. Paul’s Hymn of Love in 1 Cor 13.

 

We don’t yet have The Law of God and the Man.

Homilies orginally addressed to Nuns on various feast days. This is an incrediblly inspiring book to help warm your heart and your prayer. The homilies make short reads for those who can’t work in longer readings. My question is, why is it just sitting there like last year’s reader’s digest? Although this book is not out of print and you can find used copies on the web for as much as $60.  Well, the book is worth a lot more than that but you can get it from any Orthodox bookstore for the publisher’s price.
