If man lives without the awareness of eternity, the past is nothing but time already lost, a chain of failures and wrong choices, while the present is almost non-existent, since before we can even define it, it has already passed. As for the future, it is uncertain and does not belong to man. His whole being is tormented by a state of prolonged, even endless, anguish. And yet the time he has been given on earth is the time of the Lord’s goodness, ‘the accepted time’, during which His lovingkindness is revealed before us as a prelude to eternity. By its very nature, liturgical time is bathed in the light of eternity.

Erin Maria (verified owner) –
The dawn of the eternal in the heart of man is nothing less than God being born in each one of us. The more we dedicate our life to this one most needful thing, all the rest will fall into place. The words of Fr. Zacharias illumine the depths of our passage from this life into the next which begins now, exactly where we are. A few pages a day of this wonderful book help to cultivate the healing and wisdom most needed for the transformation the soul.

A Great Book!
The Dawn of the Eternal book has been a beautiful experience. Elder Zacharias opened up that vista of eternity enveloping our everyday life. More specifically for me, I experience the Divine Liturgy and the giving of thanks more profoundly. What a great gift for us all.
