“Let us not forget that there is no book more beautiful or more spiritual than the Psalter. For this reason the Fathers often counsel the more simple to say “Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me.” But they encourage the more advanced to read the Psalter, for it is a compendium of all theology and religious experience. The entire life of the Church, the entire tradition of the Church, all of human history, from the creation of Adam and Eve to the Second Coming of Christ, are all contained within the Book of Psalms.”
(Elder Aimilianos, ‘On the Life of St. Neilos’)
