Very interesting! I was a practing Oriental Meditation, and someone tolld me that the first Christians had contemplative practicies very like Oriental Meditation, and by reading the Philokalia i became a Christian!!! Many thanks to the Saints that made this work avaiable to us all!!!
I really wish they would make a version of this that includes the 2 Divine Liturgies I am a catachumen and it would be extremely helpful to have all the services in one place
Joyfully in Communion with you from the ROMAN CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF SUVA, FIJI ISLANDS. It is my prayer that God will reunite his body on earth, the Oriental, the Eastern and the Western churches into his one, holy,catholic, apostolic orthodox church.
Hi I expored the eastern rite traditions today and came across this pearl of an office. I am amazaed at the beauty and richness of the eastern offices. It's much more prayerful than the western offices. Amazing. Please let me know how this book compares to the Anthologion? A recenty updated edition contains the full psalter. Does this one you present also contain the psalms or would I have to get a book of psalms in a separate volume
A humble comment....It would not be a crime not to pray the common prayers at the beginning of Vespers, however I think that Chasolov presumes that you have just finished the Ninth Hour and therefore not need to begin at the beginning again. At a Vigil it is the case that the beginning is without the beginning prayers, but this is the only case apart from when hours are said consecutively as say the Third and Sixth Hours before the Liturgy. At least this is what I was taught.
I wish someone would talk about the Ruthenian recension. I keep hearing about, but all these experts are yet to show me some concrete examples other than prayers said secretly by priests which does not effect me as I am a minor cleric.
My growing family and I moved and have become parishioners of a nearby Byzantine Catholic parish. I was given a copy of the časoslov from my priest and your videos are immensely useful to me. I really appreciate you doing this. ☦
Thank you very much for posting this online. + Kallistos is sucnh a wonderful and inspiring, entertaing teacher and always brings one to a deeper and closer relationship with Christ and our understanding of liturgy... Very much appreciated.
What the hell is this heresy? Why is that fake woman priestess given any room to talk? She has nothing to add to a conversation about Sacred things. She is a heretic and the Apostolic canons forbid praying with heretics.
@debragoodwin6875 Of course Fr. Custer's knowledge would benefit us all, but I can try summarizing how Matins would work. 1. Pull your ribbon and orient your Menologion, if you haven't already. Unlike Vespers, you'll choose today. 2. Pull you ribbon and orient your Canonicon. 3. Begin Matins with the introduction prayers on p. 13. Skip the priest parts as with Vespers. 4. Pray the psalms. You can skip the 11 priestly prayers and ektania or say them privately. (I might get imprisoned by the fiercesome liturgical police Fr. Custer mentioned). At this point now I realize that Matins gets intense. This bolsters my point that Fr. Custer's knowledge would greatly benefit us 😀.
