Michael Janik Beautifully sung ancient prayers of the Orthodox Church. Speaks to the depths of the Christian soul and the cry of the heart to a loving God. When life gets to be too much I take so much solace in listening to these prayers and making them my own. Favorite track: A Prayer of St Basil the Great.
