NIGHT PRAYER. How to stay awake at night and how to pray at night. 'KEEP WATCH AND PRAY'

Father Seraphim Aldea of Mull Monastery – the Orthodox monastery of All Celtic Saints on the Isle of Mull in Scotland – talks about night prayer. How to keep watch? How to watch and pray? How to pray at night?

In this video we talk about the basics: when to pray? how to pray? what is a bow and how to make a bow? what is a prostration and how to do a prostration? For a beginner, the goal is simply to acquire the discipleship of waking up and staying awake for only fifteen minutes each night. This physical asceticism will gradually fuel a spiritual transformation, which will allow us to deepen our nightly prayer.
