A good friend gifted me today with news of the lectures on prayer that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, gave during Holy Week.There are three lectures of about an hour each available here in audio files.I have only listened to the first in which Williams speaks of prayer in the early Church, focusing upon Origen, Gregory of Nyssa, and Cassian. It is superb (and delivered in a marvelous voice: clear and conversational). I thought others might find it to be a precious Holy Saturday reflection as we prepare for the Great Vigil.I would welcome hearing from those who have a chance to listen what point(s) particularly struck them.(HT:R.S.)
