Antiochian "Little Red Prayer Book" now online

This book is ubiquitous. I consider it one of the 25 most important, formative modern Orthodox books in the English language.

(Antiochian) - A new prayer section was recently launched on Antiochian.org. The section is linked on the Archdiocese website's homepage "Worship & Devotion" sidebar and in the footer navigation, and is available across all devices. This means that the most popular sections of A Pocket Prayer Book, the well-loved Antiochian Archdiocese spiritual resource affectionately known as "The Little Red Prayer Book," are now readily available to Antiochian.org's many weekly visitors.

So far, the collection of online prayers includes: Morning Prayers, Midday Prayers, Evening Prayers, Occasional Prayers, Prayers in Preparation for Holy Communion, Prayers of Thanksgiving After Holy Communion, Self Examination Before Confession, and Prayers After Confession. Other prayers may be added as appropriate.

The original prayer book, containing Daily and Occasional Prayers as well as the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, was first published in 1956 and is in its thirteenth printing.

Order a hard copy from the Antiochian Village Bookstore.

  1. Do you have a definitive list of those 25?

    1. "definitive", really?

      It would depend on who you ask, but I think it is entirely reasonable to put this book in the top 25. I might even put it in the top 10 myself - certainly it was very important before the translation explosion that began in earnest in the 90's...
