“Prayer is a refuge of God’s great mercy to the
human race.” The refuge is a place of inner stillness and peace where the
heart is fully opened to the embrace of God’s love. It is a return to the
ancient paradise from which the human race, in Adam, had to depart because of
disobedience to the command of God. “The Refuge” is an exposition of
the concrete actions we should take if we truly desire to live with and in God.
It weaves together meditations on scripture (from the Psalms in particular) and
amplifies these with the wisdom of early Christian saints, in particular the
ascetical writings of St John of the Ladder, St Macarius the Great and St Isaac
the Syrian. It is an active exhortation for us to reacquire the original
nobility with which God fashioned us.
