Sister Gabriela joined the Community of Saint John the Baptist in 1983 after studying iconography in Paris on Saint Sophrony’s insistence. She was part of the team which was painting the murals of Saint Silouan’s Chapel and worked closely with the saint. After the mural work, Saint Sophrony continued to teach her the art of icon painting, and she assisted him in some larger works. Since his repose, to the extent that she has been able to understand them, she has tried to further his vision and ideas in various artistic projects.

Very nice little book that will orient a child to the major points of the Liturgy. It is beautifully bound in hard back with colorful illustrations and very large yet sparce print. I got two of the books for parishioners with children around 6, but I would think a child much older would learn from it also.

Lovely little book to help inspire little ones to participate in the liturgy. There are beautiful hand-drawn illustrations that feature images inspired by the liturgy. I have 4 year olds who are enjoying them, though they can’t quite yet read the text. I also enjoyed receiving this package from Essex and truly felt that it arrived bathed in prayers.

I’m truly grateful for the book A Child’s Liturgy. It is such a blessing for both me and my child. I was so moved by it that I recorded a short YouTube review, in the hope that it might encourage others to discover and benefit from this wonderful book as well. ➝ Click here to watch the video
