Description

This revised edition of Father Alexander Schmemann’s Lenten classic examines the which means 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 at the Church’s sacramental and liturgical tradition to indicate the which means of Lent in our life. The Lenten season is supposed to kindle a ‘bright sadness’ inside our hearts. Its aim is strictly the remembrance of Christ, a eager for a relationship with God that has been lost. Lent offers the time and place for recovery of this relationship. The darkness of Lent permits the flame of the Holy Spirit to burn inside our hearts till we are ended in the brilliance of the Resurrection.
