Christ Amongst Us
$23.00
An Easy to Understand Commentary on the Divine Liturgy According to the Writings of the Holy Fathers and the Experiences of the Saints.
Proper nourishment during an individual’s childhood sets the foundation for good health for the remainder of his life. Similarly, a conscious participation in the Divine Liturgy from a person’s childhood sets the foundation for their spiritual health and progress—it provides all the spiritual provisions for a lifetime... With these thoughts in mind, we decided to publish a book about the Divine Liturgy intended for children and young people–a need we ourselves keenly felt as the parents of seven children. We based our project on the The Divine Liturgy: A Commentary in the Light of the Fathers by Hieromonk Gregorios. The stories that we have included were taken from the remarkable book Miracles and Revelations from the Divine Liturgy published by the Holy Monastery of Paracletos.
We offer this book as a small contribution and aid for every young person who wishes to place the Divine Liturgy at the center of their life, as well as for parents and catechists who work closely with children. Being aware of the sublime nature of the Divine Liturgy, we have not presented a mere simplification of the meaning(s) of the Mystagogy, since we know that a right understanding of the Service comes from experiencing it...We hope that the inclusion of stories and illustrations will assist the conscientious reader in their effort to better understand the Divine Liturgy.

Born in the 19th century to a Protestant family of German nobility, Grand Duchess Elizabeth grew up surrounded by wealth and glory. Through the care of a merciful and loving mother, Elizabeth became one of the most beautiful and wise young women of her time.

After her husband was brutally killed, Elizabeth totally renounced her fortune and the illustrious life of princess. Fulfilling the longing of her heart, she became an Orthodox nun and founded a convent which combined charitable work with the life of prayer. But this wonderful work was interrupted after the Bolshevik revolution, when Abbess Elizabeth was arrested, tortured and finally became worthy of a martyr’s crown.
This is the story of a real princess, who through the power of faith left all temporal things and became the abbess of a convent - even a martyr - in a time of great oppression against the Orthodox Church.
