A Man's Daily Walk With The Saints: 365 Orthodox Reflections, Practices, and Prayers - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What might change if you made a little room each day for the wisdom of the saints?

A Man's Daily Walk with the Saints is a steady companion for Orthodox men in every season and vocation: husbands and fathers, single men, workers, students and retirees. It's not a test of spiritual performance, just a faithful presence for ordinary days. Each of the 365 entries offers:

• One short reflection on faith in everyday life
• One small, practical step to carry into your day
• One newly written prayer for private devotion

The year moves through four seasons:

• Called and Known: identity before God, prayer, humility and discernment
• Strength Rightly Used: anger and self-control, repentance, truthfulness and courage
• Work, Family and Brotherhood: vocation, mentoring, friendship, illness and grief
• Service and Perseverance: hospitality and justice, waiting, gratitude and hope

Along the way you'll walk with the men the Church remembers, among them Joseph the Betrothed, the Apostle Peter, Anthony the Great, Moses the Black, Seraphim of Sarov and Herman of Alaska, ordinary men who kept turning toward God.

You don't need a perfect routine to begin. The entries are undated, so you can start on any day of the year, with either the New or Old Calendar. Miss a day? Simply pick it up again.

Written by Maria Bleahu, a priest's daughter who grew up in the life of the Church.
