The Great Canon has been described as one of the jewels of
Orthodoxy's ascetic spirituality. In the first week of Lent, during
Great Compline, it is sung and declaimed in portions; on Thursday
of the fifth week, during Matins, in its entirety. Throughout,
accompanied by bows or prostrations, the refrain is: Have mercy on
me, O God, have mercy on me. This short, yet full, essay by Olivier
Clement serves as an enriching commentary and guide for reading The
Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete. The author begins the journey
with a study of the meaning of "awakening" and "the fear of God"
the stepping stones toward true repentance. He then follows the
Canon's path of identifying our fallen nature, the passions,
Christ's liberation from sin and death, humility, and asceticism,
and ends with a comparison between the shedding of tears and the
holy chrism of baptism. Clement ultimately encourages us to see
repentance as the key to being fully alive-and The Great Canon as
our roadmap toward becoming alive in Christ. A translation of the
Great Canon accompanies the text.
