Orthodox Prayer Book

[?4TAW]

Back for more help!

Where I come from we say something to the effect of "as we pray so we believe". I would like to start praying the prayers of Orthodox believers. Can someone please recommend a book of prayers? Do the Orthodox have something simliar to the Roman and Anglican breviaries which contain prayers for the various offices of the day?

Thank you for your guidance.

Hello ?4TAW

Here's a small, inexpensive prayer book sold by Conciliar Press that would be perfect for you: http://conciliarpress.bizhosting.com/pocket_prayer_book_for_orthodox_christians.html

It also contains the text of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.

If you are looking for something with more of the services in it, they also have the "Red Service Book" compiled by the Antiochians: http://conciliarpress.bizhosting.com/service_book_red_.html It has services such as Baptism, Funeral, and occasional prayers, along with the same morning/evening prayers in the Pocket Prayer Book.

I agree! I carry the pocket prayer book with me all the time. (Even if was put together by some group called the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese)

There's also:

"A Manual of Eastern Orthodox Prayers"; which contains morning and evening prayers. If you're visiting a church, and have a priest, he can work with you on a rule of prayer.

Anyone ever used this one. I love to see it.

There is no real breviary - we never got around to cutting things down so they could all fit the moveable daily things in one small set of books [the word comes from a word meaning 'brief']. The prayer book I use is the Jordanville prayer book, but it has its deficiencies and it doesn't contain the offices.

The Jordanville Prayer Book is excellent. It comes from Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York.

Oops! I just noticed that gzt already mentioned The Jordanville Prayer Book. Anyway, now there's a link for those interested.

I used to use the Come to Me Prayer Book published by the Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Church in Johnstown, PA. It's a pretty good little pocket prayer book.

Anyone interested in acquiring one will have to contact the publisher at seminarybooks@acrod.org.

I also love and use the Jordanville prayerbook.

By mentioning it has deficiencies, I would like to point out I very much love it, but I wish it were everything and a kite. I mean, it'd be great if you could just open it and be like, "Hmm, I wonder what the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts is like..." when obviously it's not designed to be that. It's very good at what it is.

I like it, too, but you're right.

The Sisters at this monastery have a little abbreviated manual of the Hours that is very good for people on the go http://holymyrrhbearers.com/Merchan...tore_Code=HM&Product_Code=901&Category_Code=2

My priest gave me this little short book to get me started during my catechumenate (the 10th one on the page) http://www.oca.org/OCPCItems.asp?SID=16&Section=Worship Resources

I have the little red Antiochian prayer book too.
