Tonight’s Akathist with Class has been cancelled

Tonight’s akathist and the continuation of the class on “The Unseen Warfare” has necessarily been postponed due to choir constraints and updates from those usually attending the class indicating that they will not be able to be present tonight.  For those of you who wish to attend services this evening, I strongly recommend attending the Vigil tonight at the monastery for Sts. Constantine and Helen, transferred to tomorrow due to Pentecost.

On Practicing the Jesus Prayer

By: St. Ignaty Brianchaninov Source: Orthodox Life, vol. 28, no. 5, Sept.-Oct. 1978, pp. 9-14.
