The daily rule

Prayer

Stay with one prayer. Read it at the size you need, or light a candle and let the rest of the screen go dark.

26 prayers, in the order of a pocket prayer book — the Trisagion that opens the rule, then morning, evening, the table, Communion, and prayers for particular occasions. Each one names where its text came from. A complete prayer book is not included here: which edition to carry, and under what licence, is not yet settled.
