Description
The original monks of the Egyptian desert have left us tremendous treasures that speak to us across the centuries. Their survival is a testament to the Spirit of God which inspired them, and their words have much to offer us today.
We have seen how easily our access to the divine services can be cut off, so we cannot take the life of the Church for granted. To remain in it, we may need to take on the responsibility of prayer for ourselves. In this, we can look to our spiritual ancestors of the desert, who became like angels in their simple lives of prayer.
Whether prevented from attending Church due to illness, travel, or other circumstances, or if one simply desires to observe the Church’s cycle of prayer in an uncomplicated way, these time-tested prayers have led countless souls on the road to salvation.
This new edition is expanded with the wisdom of Evagrius, one of the early desert fathers who wrote extensively on prayer and the spiritual life.
