Thirst for Life Eternal
Sayings on the Sundays of the Pentecostarion
$31.00
‘Having received the experience of the Resurrection,’ we enter a new period of grace, which the Church has instituted to train us, her children, to find another place, beautiful and holy, where we will come to know the blessedness of the promise of the Father. The Gospel readings of each Sunday, along with the rich hymnology that clarifies their meanings, cultivate expectation for the gift of Pentecost. Now the asceticism changes form; it becomes positive. It does not consist of bodily hardship, but in the spiritual thirst for the ‘waters of godliness’. It is expressed by an ever-increasing expectation and longing for the fiery flame of the Paraclete, which warms the heart and illuminates the mind to understand the words of the Almighty Jesus and leads ‘into all the fullness of His incorruptible love’.
