ancient tradition of Orthodox devotion, as well as prayers for various needs and occasions and prayers composed by numerous saints of the Church from East and West. But no one should feel obliged to say them all. This prayer book offers variety and flexibility according to each person’s situation and capability. For this reason, in the “set” prayers found in these pages, choices of one or more psalms and prayers are given. The focus of one’s prayer rule (often suggested by one’s spiritual father) should not be the rule, but the prayer. Therefore, let the attention be not on the “one” or the “all,” but on learning to pray “in spirit and truth” (John 4:24).
