Alexander Schmemann

This revised edition of Father Alexander Schmemanns's Lenten classic examines the meaning of the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, the Prayer of St. Ephraim  the Syrian, the Canon of St. Andrew of Crete and other neglected or misunderstood treasures of Lenten worship.  Schmemann draws on the Church's sacramental and liturgical tradition to  suggest the meaning of "Lent in our life."

The Lenten season is meant to kindle a "bright sadness" within our hearts.  Its aim is precisely the rememberance of Christ, a longing for a relationship with God that has been lost.  Lent offers the time and place for recovery of this relationship.  The darkness of Lent allows the flame of the Holy Spirit to burn within our hearts until we are led to the brilliance of the Resurrection.
