Title: Great Lent Author: Alexander Schmemann Narrator: Peter Bouteneff Format: mp3 Length: 5 hrs and 27 mins Release date: 05-11-22 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 37 ratings Genres: Holidays Publisher's Summary: This revised edition of Fr. Alexander Schmemann'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 remembrance of Christ, a longing for a relationship with God that has been lost.
