What Apostolic Constitutions Still Knows
An ancient prayer from Adapted: Apostolic Constitutions for morning, worship, rest.
Prayer is not an escape hatch from the world. In the older Christian writers, it is usually the opposite: a way of standing still long enough for God to tell the truth about the world and about us.
Christian memory is not a scrapbook. It is a school. This is one of the lessons.
