"To search the sacred Scripture is very good and most profitable
for the soul. For, 'like a tree which is planted near the running
waters, ' so does the soul watered by sacred Scripture also grow
hearty and bear fruit in due season," writes John of Damascus in
Orthodox Faith (4.17). By helping us to read holy writings with
ancient eyes, the church fathers help us drink deeply from the only
water that can give us true life. This guide to prayer and
reflection combines excerpts from the writings of the church
fathers as found in the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
with a simple structure for daily or weekly reading and prayer.
There are fifty-two weeks of readings following the weekly
lectionary cycle A. You can read through them in order or by
thematic interest. Each day you will also find a simple opening and
closing prayer drawn from the prayers and hymns of the ancient
church. Come and find the deep nourishment God offers through the
insights of this "cloud of witnesses"--the ancient church fathers.
