An in-depth commentary on the Divine Liturgy based on the writings of the holy Fathers of the Orthodox Church including St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. Nicholaos Cabasilas and many others.
“Some may say that a contemporary commentary on the Divine Liturgy should reflect how a contemporary Christian sees, hears and touches Christ, but on account of the present author’s spiritual blindness, deafness and insensibility he has turned to those who have seen the true Light, who have heard the Word and touched the immaculate head of the Master’, and who are eternally contemporary. And so this book is compiled from the eucharistic experiences of the saints and presents the Divine Liturgy as it was actually lived by them, and as it is still lived within the Church. For even today, in these difficult times, there are hearts that burn with His love (cf. Luke 24:32) and experience His presence at the Altar and people who during the Divine Liturgy concelebrate with the angels and saints, and truly live in the blessed Kingdom of the Triune God.”
