Orthodox Quote for July 14
“The corporate prayer of the Body of Christ in the Daily Offices, and the Communion with our Lord in the Holy Eucharist, but especially that third component of our Rule, our “private” prayer, which, while done in private is still very much a part of the prayer of the Body of Christ, of which we are members in particular. It is also our meditation upon Scripture and the life and acts and words of our Lord, and on the great doctrines of the Faith; our converse with Him…leads to our confession of sin; our “recollection” or “practice of the presence of God” throughout the day.”
(Fr Alban Waggener, 2021 homily)
