Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. 2nd. 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. Seller Inventory # DADAX0913836044

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. Alexander Schmemann, one of the most respected and widely-read Orthodox writers of the 20th century challenges, in all his work, our willing acceptance of a modern consciousness against a thorougly Christian one. Taking seriously the radical nature of the faith and its exemplar in the fathers, Schmemann never fails to rattle any lingering complacency his readers may possess. Here he explores and explains the liturgical services, fasts, symbols, and prayers of the Lenten season. ''A journey, a pilgrimage!'' he exclaims in the introduction. ''Yet, as we Begin it, as we make the first step into the 'bright sadness' of Lent, we see--far, far away--the destination. It is the joy of Easter, it is the entrance into the glory of the Kingdom. The night may be dark and long, but all the way a mysterious and radiant dawn seems to shine on the horizon. 'Do not deprive us of our expectation, O Lover of man!''' With an understanding and possession of this foretaste, you'll be better poised to experience Easter, as early Christians and the Church fathers did, as the night ''brighter than the day.'' 140 pp. Seller Inventory # 35957
