Prayers by the Lake is a very powerful century (a collection of 100 texts). These texts are at the same time prayers/meditations/poems. They are spiritually very intense.
Little by little, you can discern how the texts are organized, especially as the author Bishop Nikolai Velimirovich (who wrote the famous Prologue of Ohrid) starts following Creation, and then following the Life of Christ.

Saint John Chrysostom wrote these 17 letters during his very last exile. They are addressed to Olympia, a widow who embraced a life of asceticism and was ordained a deaconess. She was very instrumental in her local church, but having to face many pressures, and feeling the pain of John’s exile, she suffered from a disease which we often think to be proper to our modern times.
