Textbook for Prayer Class: The way of a Pilgrim.

Textbook for Prayer Class: The Way of a Pilgrim is the English title of an anonymous Russian, seemingly autobiographical, work, possibly by an Athonite monk, detailing the narrator's journey across the country while practicing the Jesus Prayer devoutly, with the help of a prayer rope and the study of the Philokalia. The Russian title of the book is actually much longer than its English translation: "Откровенные рассказы странника духовному своему отцу" - literally, "Candid tales of a pilgrim to his spiritual father'.

This masterpiece, as described in Europe by theologians who are spiritually immersed in it, speaks of an Orthodox Christian pilgrim who travels with the thirst to delve into the knowledge and application of the saying of the Apostle Paul who says "pray unceasingly".

I have listened to this again & again. Does anyone else keep re-listening to it? Its so simply yet so deep, & it just keeps pulling me back. I adore this book, & the narrator is just perfect for it too.

I am a Roman Catholic but I love this book. I especially love how the Jesus Prayer is playing in the background and comes to the front at the end of a chapter.

Even for a Catholic there is much in our shared tradition of the first 1000 years of Christianity. I long for the day that we might reunite.

What a beautiful, powerful, peaceful book! And nice job, narrator! God be with us all. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.

This is the sweetest nectar that ever touched my ears. The greatest culture is the culture of God. No knowledge comes even closer to this. Nothing surpasses the tenderness of the intimate contact with the Divine. I shall listen again!

Since Easter past this has been a daily listen. While working, sleeping, sitting around at home. Actually found this on another YouTube channel but that download disappeared and this one became available. It is all good! Listen mostly to mentality absorb the spiritual nourishment. Blessings to all! 🙏

For those that are curious this is the Helen Bacovin translation which I think is my favourite. The original is a 19th C Russian work.

I had a similar experience when I was in my 20's and it stuck to me also. The explanation I found that was logical to me is that many Hindus and Sikhs do simran and Bajan and japa or repetition to forget this world and focus solely on God 💕

[elizzM]

This is so beautiful in its pure simplicity. I am listening to it repeatedly. Thank you. 🙏

There is a part 2 I just learned and it’s on this channel. Thank you!

Does anybody know if this is a true account or an allegory kind of like pilgrims progress? Either way it is a tremendously beautiful work. Christ is ascended!☦☦☦
