Infos

It has been said that a major problem of our twenty-four-seven internet age is that people increasingly lack "e;purpose"e; and "e;meaning"e; in their lives. And the most influential people of our day, the tech geniuses and self-help gurus, seem convinced that "e;we"e; are the ones who are to create this purpose or meaning for ourselves, just as we invent new technologies and self-help programs. In this context, Sister Vassa Larin invites the Christian reader to rediscover a handy instrument from the toolbox of ancient Christian tradition, which can fill our every hour and every day with faith-based meaning and purpose: the practice of praying and "e;commemorating"e; every weekday and every time of day, according to the traditioned, liturgical meaning of each day and hour. Combining engaging theological explanations with practical prayer tips, Sister Vassa offers a simple and flexible way of living this prayer tradition, so it is sustainable even amidst a busy schedule.
