Let prayer become a life of love.
Three works by Saint Maximus the Confessor bring prayer, ascetic discipline, and charity into a single field of attention. His commentary on the Lord’s Prayer asks what its petitions demand of us; the Ascetic Discourse considers the struggle to live before God; Four Hundred Chapters on Love returns repeatedly to the habits that obstruct love of our neighbor. This compact English volume gives those themes room to speak together.
