At the section titled “Divine Services as an Expression of Fundamental Monasticism,” Archimandrite Irinei (Steenberg) of St Tikhon of Zadonsk Church in San Francisco, CA, gave a lecture titled “The One Thing Needful,” on the meaning of Divine Liturgy in the life of a monastic brotherhood. He noted that the sole goal of monasticism is achieving communion in Christ. Divine Liturgy is the basis of daily life in a monastic community, the Mystery through which the Lord turns and monk towards Himself and offers him the fullness of life that he seeks. A monastic brotherhood must strive to form itself under the influence of Eucharistic life.

Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
