The Old Testament teaches us about prayer, opening up a window as to what our prayer life is, what our prayer life could be, what it should be. From Adam to Abraham, Jacob to Moses, David & Elijah, these Old Testament figures reveal essential characteristics of prayer: God's seeking us out and the patient revelation of his love.
They give examples of desiring, searching, seeing, and loving God. Enter the Church of Mar Elias Monastery with Greek Abbot Achillios and walk its grounds, including the ruins of the ancient Church of the Kathisma. Found on the border between Jerusalem and Bethlehem along Hebron Road, it was the resting place of Elijah and much later, Mary and Joseph.
