| 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.
