94 - PrayerFr. Thomas Hopko
“Prayer is an active life. Prayer is the conscious, purposeful, intentional act through which we are united fully and completely with God for the purpose of being a divine life.” “The essence of prayer is ‘not my will but Your will be done. ’Life is the conscious communion with God for every second, with every thought.” - Fr Thomas Hopko The first message answers the questions about prayer, To whom do we pray? Why do we pray? And what is prayer? The second message tells how we pray. This includes the three main areas of prayer used by Christians for 2000 years. This is the prayer of the Divine Liturgy, the personal rule of prayer for each individual and the constant, unceasing prayer of the heart. Fr Thomas explains how each of these is unique yet dependant on each other for a healthy life. This series is intense, very informative and
practical. †Bishop KALLISTOS (Ware)
