The Desert Fathers of the East, the Church's first monks and hermits, left the tumult of cities for the silence of uninhabited spaces. But it wasn't solitude per se that they sought. It was a place - in the world and in their interior life - where they could practice contemplative prayer with focus and discipline. Their ultimate goal: intimacy with God. Many of the monks who followed after them wrote down their thoughts and observations. With Letters from the Desert, Father Cliff Ermatinger guides us into their minds. A collection of 200 brief yet profound quotes from the monks’ writings, this book opens the Byzantine monastic experience to everyone.

This immensely popular booklet provides you with a complete introduction to The Divine Mercy message and devotion. In the 1930's, Sister Maria Faustina received a message of mercy from Our Lord that she was told to spread throughout the world, a message of God's mercy to each person individually, and for humanity as a whole. Jesus asked that a picture be painted of him with the inscription: "Jesus, I Trust in You." She was asked to be a model of mercy to others, to live her entire life, in imitation of Christ's, as a sacrifice. She commissioned this painting in 1935, showing a red and a white light shining from Christ's Sacred Heart.The Divine Mercy Devotion is now the second most popular Catholic devotion in the world, surpassed only by the Holy Rosary.

In the earliest centuries of faith, Christians in the deserts of Palestine and Africa sought a short prayer that could be easily repeated, in order to acquire the habit of “prayer without ceasing.” The result was The Jesus Prayer: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.” This jewel of Eastern Christianity aims at enabling a person to be in God’s presence, rather than to focus on feelings or thoughts about God. This new book by Frederica Mathewes-Green is the most complete introduction to the most mysterious prayer of Christian tradition.

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” This very simple prayer was developed in the deserts of Egypt and Palestine during the early centuries of Christian Faith, and has been practiced in Catholic and Orthodox churches ever since. It is a prayer inspired by St. Paul's exhortation to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thes. 5:17) and its purpose is to tune one's inner attention to the presence of the Lord. In "Praying the Jesus Prayer" Frederica Mathewes-Green, one of today's most respected voices on Orthodoxy in America, introduces you to: the history and meaning of this popular but rarely understood method of talking to God; what it means to really pray with both heart and mind; and how to get started incorporating the Jesus Prayer into your life.

Experiencing the Presence of God and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of an Ancient Spirituality. For nearly two millennia, the holy men and women of Eastern Christianity have built lives of reflection, humility, and constant connection to God around a simple sentence, the Jesus Prayer. Now, Norris J. Chumley—a documentarian and professor—reveals the history, practices, and abiding wisdom of this mystical tradition to the rest of the world. Enriched with stunning color photographs of these holy sites, where photography is rarely allowed, Mysteries of the Jesus Prayer reveals the powerful theology packed into this prayer’s few words.

What is Prayer? What is its essence? How can we learn to pray? What does the spirit of the Christian experience as he prays in humility of heart? Such are the questions which this book sets out to answer. It presents a picture of prayer in its various degrees, from ordinary oral prayer to unceasing prayer of the heart; above all, however, it is concerned with one particular prayer, known in the Orthodox Church as the Jesus Prayer. One of the simplest of all Christian prayers, this consists in a single brief sentence, ‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me.’ The present anthology helps to explain how men have come to discover so much in so short a phrase.

Stations of the Cross (or Way of the Cross; in Latin, Via Crucis; also called the Via Dolorosa or Way of Sorrows, or simply, The Way) refers to the depiction of the final hours of Jesus, and the devotion commemorating the Passion.

It may be done at any time, but is most commonly done during the Season of Lent, especially on Good Friday and on Friday evenings during Lent.

Featuring gorgeous pictures and inspiring readings for every walk of life, this quintessential book of Stations is sure to become your family’s final stop for Lenten meditations on the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
