General Description:

A handsome new setting of the celebration of the most awesome and sacred mystery of the Eastern Christian faith: the Divine Liturgy.

Here is a stunningly beautiful revised edition of Archbishop Joseph Raya’s translation of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, the jewel and centerpiece of Byzantine Christian spirituality. Archbishop Joseph here instills into his translation a renewed sense of reverence and awe before the immense majesty and incomprehensible love of God our Father.

This edition contains a new Foreword by Archbishop Joseph, explaining how the Divine Liturgy developed against the backdrop of the great ancient heresies about the Person and Nature of our Lord Jesus, and that as such it contains a full and serene exposition of who Christ is and why He came to earth. The Archbishop explores the meaning of our salvation and of the Holy Eucharist and Divine Liturgy on a cosmic level, a human level, and a psychological level, and shows how the gestures and rituals of the Liturgy should be performed and why they matter. He includes four prayers of thanksgiving, each hallowed by centuries of use by faithful Christians, and a helpful section giving additional directions for celebrants and offering clarifications of various aspects of the Divine Liturgy that may puzzle newcomers to the glories of Eastern spirituality.

Like all of Archbishop Joseph’s work, this edition of the Divine Liturgy doesn’t supply simply a text and some technical directions — rather, it is suffused with the Archbishop’s joy in Christ and enthusiastic love for Him.
