Pray Your Way Through the Psalms This Lent!

February 20, 2021

book of psalmsIt’s almost that time again! This Lent, join the St. Elia Prayer Group as we once again unite to pray the Psalms together throughout the fast, which for Orthodox Christians begins this year on March 15. You do not need to be a member of St. Elia Akron to join. All you need is a Bible and a little bit of time to set aside each day.

The prayer group also offers the opportunity for us to pray for one another, for our parish, and for any special intentions any of us may have.

Prepare for Pascha by Praying the Psalms!

The Goal

To draw nearer to Christ and one another during this Lenten Fast by praying the Psalms together as a community, as we journey together toward holy Pascha.

How It Works

The Orthodox Church has divided the book of Psalms into 20 sections. In our St. Elia prayer group, we will all be praying a new section each day throughout the 40 days of the fast, so that we all will pray through the entire book of Psalms twice during the course of the fast.

Added Bonus

As we all join together in prayer, we can use this opportunity to pray for one another, for our parish, and for any special intentions that any of us may have by sharing prayer requests with one another via email.

What You Need

Nothing more than a Bible and a little bit of time to set aside each day.

How Do I Join?

Fill in the online form below. Shortly before Great Lent begins, an email will be sent out with a schedule of which Psalms to pray each day, and the names of everyone else who is participating in the prayer group, so that we can remember one another in our daily prayers.

Spread the Word!

This does not need to be limited only to members of St. Elia. Pass along this information to friends and relatives elsewhere and invite them to join.

One Last Thing

May God bless us as we pray the Psalms together, and may He draw us nearer to Himself and to one another during this Lent. Have a blessed 40 days!
