"...for His mercy endureth for ever." - The Psalter According to the Seventy

Read from the St. Tikhon’s Seminary Prayer Book (1982), a public‑domain text preserved by Project Gutenberg. In the introduction, the book notes, "Many rules of prayer have developed in the history of the Church. At no place or time has there been a uniform rule. In 19th Century Russia, for example, the rule varied considerably from one monastery to another, though certain basic elements were found in all of them. Therefore, the term “Rule of Prayer” should never be understood as a strait jacket, regulating and limiting our communion with God.

What the Rules do teach us is the importance of regularity in our life of prayer. It is better to say a few prayers every day without fail than to say a great number of prayers on an irregular, impulsive basis. Those of us who are fortunate enough to have a spiritual father should consult him before establishing our own Rule. Those of us who do not, should begin with a modest Rule, increasing it only when it has become a regular and integral part of our lives."

I recorded these prayers simply and plainly, without music or commentary, so they can be prayed along with at home, during commutes, or at the start of the day. My goal is to make the daily prayers accessible and steady.
