Vespers - E02 - The Hours at Home
Manage episode 435582910 series 2825246
In this series, we are encouraging you to bring the services of the hours into your home, as a natural extension of communal and liturgical church life. Today's episode will focus on Vespers, that service that straddles the transition from day to evening, from light to darkness. ETK's first public season was a (very thorough!) season on this service, so if you want a deep detailed dive into Vespers, please go check that out on your favourite podcast streaming platform, but today we will approach it in a different way.
Far from suggesting that you do Vespers in your prayer corner at home exactly as it would be done in the church, Fr Geoffrey and Fr Yuri propose practical ways to take Vespers’ thematic psalm and hymn content and adapt it for home use. And please don't worry! If you're thinking that although you love the idea of doing the hours at home, the idea of carving out extra time is rather romantic but impractical, the trick is to take the things you're already doing throughout the day and turn it into prayer.
It's in simplicity that this will find it's greatest impact and virtue in our lives. Start modestly, with a practice that you can keep habitually and faithfully, and it will become second nature — and transform you!
