“Step into the timeless beauty of Orthodox spirituality with An Orthodox Guide to the Prayer Rule of the Theotokos, a devotional guide rooted in the ancient practices of the Church. Imagine immersing yourself in prayers that echo through centuries, drawing you closer to the Mother of God and deepening your spiritual life. This book, inspired by the wisdom of saints like St. Seraphim of Sarov, offers structured prayers that focus on the mysteries of the Theotokos’ life, providing you with a path to contemplation, peace, and a stronger connection with Christ.

The Prayer Rule of the Theotokos dates back to the early centuries of the Church, where it first emerged among the Desert Fathers of Egypt. Modeled after the 150 Psalms of the Bible, monks would recite “Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos” 150 times in devotion to the Mother of God. Although it shares similarities with the Western Rosary, this tradition developed independently within the Orthodox Church and has been cherished for centuries. Saints like St. Seraphim of Sarov emphasized its power, teaching that it invokes the protective care of the Theotokos and draws the faithful closer to Christ through her intercession.

This book is more than just a guide to prayers; it also includes traditional Orthodox hymns to enrich your devotional experience, allowing you to incorporate sacred music into your practice. Additionally, detailed instructions on how to use prayer beads, or Lestovka, are provided, offering practical tips to help you engage more deeply in the Prayer Rule. Whether you’re new to this practice or have been devoted for years, these tools will help you find peace and spiritual rhythm in your prayers.

Whether you’re seeking to enrich your prayer life or looking for a source of comfort, this guide is designed for both the seasoned faithful and those new to Orthodox devotions. With prayers designed to address the deepest needs of the heart—family, forgiveness, healing, and protection—you will find solace and strength in the intercession of the Theotokos.

Don’t miss this opportunity to make this treasured tradition a part of your life. Let The Prayer Rule of the Theotokos be your companion in prayer, offering you a way to grow in faith and experience the loving care of the Mother of God.
