This abridged Book of the Hours is certainly not for church services; rather, it is intended for the laity and is to be used at home, at work, or wherever one goes. It is printed in a pocket sized edition, making it available to be carried easily. Daily life can be hectic, yet we still need to pray and be in communion with God. It will help each person using it to become more aware of the Church at prayer. When we have the opportunity to go to the church, we will be better informed and open to praising God more fully within community.

The author of the popular Meditations for Great Lent takes us through the hymnography, scripture readings, and iconography for the forty days leading up to the Nativity of Christ, showing how a full understanding of the Incarnation can enrich our spiritual lives.

The Lenten Triodion exhorts us, “Let us observe a fast acceptable and pleasing to the Lord.” Using hymns from the Triodion and the Scripture readings appointed for the season, Meditations for Great Lent shows us how to make our fast acceptable: to fast not only from food but from sin; to fast with love and humility, as a means to an end and not an end in itself. Keep this gem of a book with you to inspire you for the Fast and to dip into for encouragement as you pursue your Lenten journey.

Archimandrite Vassilios brings his liturgical and devotional insights and warm, accessible style to bear on the services of Holy Week, helping the reader enter fully into this most rich and intense period of the Christian year.

Far from being merely a “vacation from fasting,” the Pascha season is a time that, properly understood, can greatly enrich our faith. During the Pascha season, we celebrate and rejoice in our Lord’s Resurrection and we prepare for the great feast of the Holy Spirit descending upon us.

This volume completes the popular Meditations series by taking a brief look at each of the major feasts of the church year. Fr. Vassilios brings out the gems embodied in the church’s hymnography to enhance our understanding and participation in these milestones of our salvation.

Most Christians of our time have thought of Lent as a time of dont's, Don't eat meat, don't have parties, even don't get married! And so today, when the stress on the dont's has been relaxed, Lent seems to disappear.

Volume 1 contains the three preparation weeks before Great Lent. The editions are spiral-bound — designed to lay flat for easy use on cantor's stands.
