[QUOTE="OrthoSerb, post: 1562620, member: 24061"] No worries :) I actually had a funny interaction with a fellow parishioner over the weekend. She told me about a period in her life a few years ago when she had confessed a sin and had been given an obedience to read the Great Canon of St Andrew of Crete by her confessor. Its typically used during Great Lent as its relatively long (2-3 hours). The confessor had intended for her to read it over the course of a week, whereas she understood that she had to read it every evening in addition to her prayer rule. She was also discouraged after a few days of this prayer routine until she saw her Confessor again and realised she'd misunderstood! [/QUOTE]
