Description
Product Description
This revised edition of Father Alexander
Schmemann's Lenten classic examines the
meaning of Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, the
Prayer of St Ephraim the Syrian, the Canon of St
Andrew of Crete and other neglected or
misunderstood treasures of Lenten worship.
Schmemann draws on the Church's sacramental
and liturgical tradition to suggest the meaning of
Lent in our life. The Lenten season is meant to
kindle a 'bright sadness' within our hearts. Its aim
is precisely the remembrance of Christ, a longing
for a relationship with God that has been lost.
Lent offers the time and place for recovery of this
relationship. The darkness of Lent allows the
flame of the Holy Spirit to burn within our hearts
until we are led to the brilliance of the
Resurrection.

It completely changed my understanding of

Great Lent.
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2008
Sadly Fr. Schmemann passed away 25 years ago,
but his impact as the greatest modern Orthodox
theologian lives on. This book is a seriously
written theological work, but it's easily
understood by the ordinary lay person as well as
the theologian. Fr. Schmemann explains...
