Holy Zion Orthodox Hermitage Prayer Rule 

This is the Rule of prayer to be followed as much as possible as time and other obligations permit. The monk is not bound to this rule as a slave, but as a free­man to do what is possible in a spirit of a disciple of Christ-God giving Him praise and thanksgiving for His mercy and countless blessing to all of God’s Ho1y Church and all His creation.
