An Offering of the Writings of St. Nicholai Velimirovic: The Lord’s Prayer: A Devout Interpretation & Three Lessons of the Orthodox Faith
“We live in a time, an epoch, and a civilization engulfed in a dramatic crisis of human identity. In this age, values are being substituted, and the formation of the consumer character is taking place which leads one into a life based predominantly on self-centered interests. Man has become accustomed to view himself as a slave—as one thrown into this world, and then discarded. This is why Bishop Nicholai, through his short but concise essays, sends word to us and says: Let us not weaken in spirit, for a man who lives in faith, hope and love, lives in the Lord’s embrace, along with all the saints and angels; the Lord’s embrace is our sea of security. May the splendid messages of Bishop Nicholai[...]speak for themselves to the readers; and, more importantly, may the readers, through Bishop Nicholai’s wise words, grow unto salvation and not be led into temptation but rather maintain the hope that God will ‘deliver us from the evil one.’” —“Introduction by His Grace Bishop Jovan”
