(Fr. Aidan Kimel was kind enough to post this beautiful hymn, composed by Metropolitan Tryphon, on his website. You may view his website here for the text. I decided to create a recording of it. I am not trained to sing or chant so I read it. I am not claiming to have read it well but I knew that I would enter more deeply into its message of thanksgiving if I read it aloud to you. Thanks be to God for His many gifts…)
I love this, akathist or not (the word escapes me, but not the prayer). And I like listening. I like being able to listen again. And.
Thanks, Al. You just reminded me that I’m due for another listen myself.
