ventually, everyone comes to dwell in darkness for a time. That is Ewhen we need to turn to Jesus, the only Light of the world and the only rescue for those in pain and despair. We break through the dark- ness by offering praise to God. This akathist is for all who sojourn in the darkness, with the prayer that they will use such praises as this to break through.

Akathist to the Most Holy , Daughter of Zion ion in the is a type of the Holy Mother of God. As ZGod chose to dwell in Zion and thus blessed and glorified her, so God also chose to dwell in Mary and to bless and glorify her. In the , Jerusalem is revealed as both a virgin and a mother—just like the Holy Theotokos. This akathist draws on scriptures that reveal this image of Mary as Zion, so that we may see anew Christ’s Gospel work revealed in the Old Testament.

Akathist to Matushka Olga Michael atushka Olga was the wife of a Yupik priest in an Alaskan village. MShe was not only mother to her own eight surviving children, but also spiritual mother to those in her parish. Olga served quietly, working as midwife in her village and constantly caring for the needy. She had a special gift in working with those who suffered abuse, especially sexual abuse. After her repose on November 8, 1979, many people experienced her coming to them in dreams, bringing her healing gifts. Matushka Olga’s sanctity reveals the possibilities for genuine theosis and holiness, even for those living in the world.

he assumption in most creation debates is that the claims Tof and of science are irreconcilable. But there is a third viewpoint—that while the teaches that God created the world, it never states exactly how He did it. The origin stories in the Book of Genesis were never intended to be read as either science or literal history, but they contain important lessons. Fr. Lawrence Farley takes us through the first chapters of Genesis verse by verse, bringing out the spiri- tual truths hidden in this ancient text.

Lawrence Farley reveals all the wonders of this unique book to the receptive eye.

6 store.ancientfaith.com BY NICOLE M. ROCCAS Time and Despondency Regaining the Present in Faith and Life

dleness. Apathy. Restlessness. Procrastination. These are Isymptoms of what early Christian theologians called despondency (acedia), a spiritual sickness rooted in a lack of care or effort. A condition as old as the ancients, despondency thrives in today’s culture of leisure, anxiety, and digital distraction. Time and Despondency is a pen- etrating synthesis of ancient theology, spiritual memoir, and self-help practicality. It envisions despondency as the extension of a broken relationship with the experience of time. Driven by the fear of death and the anxiety of living, despondency drives us to abandon the present moment, forsaking the only temporal realm in which we have true fellowship with Christ. The remedies offered by time- honored Christian thinkers for this predicament constitute not only an antidote to despondency but also stepping stones back to the present moment. In regaining the sacredness of time, we re-encounter the Resurrection of Time and Despondency: Christ in the dark and restless moments of our lives.

Tradi- tion tells us that as a small child, Ignatius was singled out by Jesus Himself as an example of the childlike faith all Christians must possess (see Matthew 18:1–4). In Bearing God, Fr. Andrew Damick recounts the life of this great pastor, martyr, and , and interprets for the modern reader five major themes in the pastoral letters he wrote: martyrdom, salvation in Christ, the bishop, the unity of the Church, and the Eucharist.

nyone who prays, or has tried to pray and given up in Adiscouragement, knows praying—really praying—is not easy. Praying consistently seems almost impossible. Too often and too easily, prayer becomes a burden: one more item on an already overcrowded to-do list. Failing to pray becomes a source of guilt and stress as we must once again admit our inconstancy and procrastination to our father confessor. Yet, our Lord said, “Come to me, all of you who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. My burden is easy and my yoke is light” (Matt. 11:30). The purpose of this book, then, is not to add to the burden, but to ease it by distilling the advice and experience of those who pray.

With these materials, anyone can host an effective discussion group and invite guests to a further exploration of Orthodox Christianity. In the program, you will find a highly engaging and superbly produced feature documentary about the “unaffiliated” category of people who are often referred to as “Nones.” This is the fastest growing demographic in America. There is also a Course Director’s Manual as well as a Moderator’s Workbook for leading group discussions. This ministry is designed to be lay-led with your priest as your spiritual advisor.
