This summer St. Mary’s will be
sponsoring a showing of the:
“Mysteries of the
Jesus Prayer”
-a documentary about a pilgrimage to the
Heart of Ancient Spirituality.
Discover the ancient and powerful Jesus Prayer. Known
by generations of eastern Christians, this mystical prayer has been in use
since the apostles, but remains largely unknown in the west. Travel with us to
the far reaches of the Middle East, Mediterranean and Eastern Europe to
discover the Jesus Prayer first hand with Emmy award winning theologian and
author Dr. Norris Chumley, and renowned historian and priest, Very Reverend Dr.
John A. McGuckin. Discover with us the ancient Christian wisdom and prayers,
still in use today. See some of the world’s oldest treasures of religious art
and sacred iconography as well as holy altars—hidden away in monasteries and
chapels—off limits to the outside world…until now.
The showing will be held on:
Tuesday, July 19th at 7:30pm
on the big screen in the Parish Hall. There will be a
short discussion following and light refreshments will be served.
