The Pilgrim's Odyssey

The Pilgrim's Odyssey is your guide on life's wild ride. Every episode brings you inspirational stories and practical advice on living deeply, united in a spirit of friendship and love. Silouan Green, The Pilgrim's Odyssey host, began to find his own answers after a tragic jet crash on an epic 23-month, over 20,000 mile motorcycle trip. For over 20 years he has spoken and taught thousands to take positive action in facing the trials and traumas of life.

Today we are wrapping up a short week of peace before the Thanksgiving holiday.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 directs us to “Pray without ceasing”.

Ilias the Presbyter warns us of what happens when it is something other than prayer that we do without ceasing.

“If the intellect has become so closely attached to worldly thoughts through its inveterate involvement with them, how intimate would it not become with prayer if it prayed unceasingly? For, it is said, the intellect will flourish in whatever it makes its constant occupation.”

Inveterate: having a particular habit, activity, or interest that is long-established and unlikely to change.

What changes can you make in order to learn to pray without ceasing? What will control your thoughts and ultimately your actions – worldly things, or spiritual things?
