Seller's Description:
New. In past years, Clement gifted us with some invaluable books: The Roots of Christian Mysticism, which beautifully weaves texts from the Fathers into a doctrinal and spiritual narrative, and The Living God, an Orthodox catechism which properly places catechesis in the context of the Church's music, worship, and iconography. Now, he offers us a meditation on three of the most essential prayers of the Christian tradition. How many have commented on the Our Father in the tradition? Gregory of Nyssa, Cyril of Jerusalem, Augustine, and a host of others. Yet there is always more to be said: ''the prayer...invokes the three divine Persons and their common will, then goes on to the disposition which man needs in order to enter into the trinitarian realm, to make use of time eucharistically, to seek freedom through grace and an unselfish respect for others, the rejection of ultimate apostasy, and participation in Christ's victory over hell and death. '' The second prayer--a prayer to the Holy Spirit--opens us to ''the breath of life, of communion and freedom'' that ''draws every man out of nothingness. '' And the third prayer, the penitential prayer of St. Ephrem the Syrian, ''shows us both the obstacles and the path which leads to that rare and difficult 'love' which is the 'synthesis of all virtue. ''' Here is a book for devotions, for Lent, for life.
