McKees Rocks, PA. – The Youth Group of Holy
Ghost Church has published a second edition of its special prayer
book, entitled Prayer Journey through Great Lent and Holy Week.
The prayer resembles the liturgical prayer used
by Byzantine Catholic monastics and clergy. The texts were taken
from the Lenten Triodion translated by the Sisters of St.
Basil the Great in Uniontown. As in the Triodion, there is a
different set of prayers for each day: beginning prayers, a psalm, a
hymn for the week taken from Matins, the prayer of St. Ephrem
and a prayer from one of the Lenten Hours. |
|
It is intended to provide approximately 10 minutes of
prayer each day. The book itself was designed for easy handling
(4"x7") and easy reading (moderately large print). The cover
features a full-color icon of Christ the Bridegroom.
The project was inspired by Pope John Paul II’s Jubilee
Year call to repentance and on his teaching in Orientale Lumen that
our spirituality is based on monasticism. Over 10,000 books have already
been ordered.
Each prayer book costs $3.50, with quantity discounts
available. They may be ordered from Holy Ghost Youth Group, P.O. Box 1036,
Moon Township, PA 15108.
