Three Feasts, One Package

Description

This collection brings together three books by Fr. Robert Slesinski, a Byzantine Catholic priest and theologian known for his depth of thought and pastoral clarity. Each volume offers a careful meditation on one of the great feasts of the Byzantine tradition, inviting readers to contemplate the mysteries at the heart of Christian faith.

The set includes:

• The Holy Theophany: A Catechesis on the Mysteries of the Incarnation and the Holy Trinity — An exploration of the revelation of God as Trinity through the mystery of the Incarnation.
  • “The simple, yet enigmatic, words from the Prologue of the Gospel of St. John (…) give utterance to the most foundational dogma of the Christian faith, namely, the Incarnation, itself a mystery to be marveled at: God became Man in the Person of Jesus, the Christ, the Anointed One. What a mysterious wonder, indeed!”
• The Holy Transfiguration: A Symphonic Presentation — A reflection on the Transfiguration of Christ and its meaning for the transformation of all who follow Him.
  • “The reflections in this study as indicated by the title consider the mystery of Jesus’ Transfiguration before his disciples Peter, James, and John, not only in view of what happens to the Lord in this holy moment in his earthly life, but also in view of the transformative value of the event for the disciples themselves and – by extension – to anyone who would seek to follow the Lord up the Holy Mountain.”
• The Holy Encounter: Meditations on the Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple — A meditation on the Presentation of Christ and its significance in the unfolding of salvation history.
  • “A meditation on the marvelous, awe-inspiring words of the Holy Gospel of St. Luke, chapter 2, verses 22-40. This biblical passage recounts the events surrounding the Presentation of the Christ Child in the Temple of Jerusalem forty days after his nativity. (…) This holy occasion in the life of our Lord is unique in that it is known by multiple names, each highlighting a distinctly different moment integral to the whole scenario of the Infant Savior’s presentation in the Temple according to Mosaic Law.”

Ideal for readers who wish to follow the Byzantine liturgical year more closely or who seek deeper insight into feasts that are often overlooked in contemporary study and devotion.   $50.00.
