A FRAMEWORK FOR 24/7 DAVIDIC INTERCESSORY WORSHIP

Church AgeSlide2

Alexander AkimitesA 5th century monk in Constantinople (Orthodox Eastern church)

Established his monastery around 430 ADAkoimetoi means “sleepless ones”. David said that he meditated on the law ‘day and night’ and this became a capstone verse to the Akoimetoi.

Alexander divided the monks into choirs and they rotated throughout the 24 hour period. Slide3

Agaune – Roman NameIn 515 AD Sigismund established a monastery at Saint-Maurice 64 kilometers due East of Geneva (Roman Western Church)A key feature of its liturgy was “laus perennis” – perpetual praise (prayer)

The monks divided up into companies called “turmae” and one company would replace another company throughout the day and nightSlide4

Commentary“No contemporary sixth-century source dealing with Agaune speaks of its laus perennis

; those words were simply never used… instead of its psalmody, which lasted through both night and day: it was “assiduous psalmody” or “hymns of psalmody day and night” or “divine songs by day and night” or “psalmody by turmae both night and day,” and so on” (Rosenweir 2001, 41)Slide5

Bangor IrelandAccording to tradition, St Patrick came upon a certain valley and it was reported that he and his companions “beheld the valley filled with a heavenly light and with a multitude of the host of heaven they heard, as chanted forth from the voice of angels, the psalmody of the celestial choir”

Early 5th century ADSlide6

ComgallComgall established a monastery there in 558 AD. At its height, 3000 monks lived thereThey were broken into three companies. Each took an 8 hour shift to pursue “laus perennis”

Their antiphonal style of praise and intercession lasted almost 300 years when the monastery was eventually destroyed by invading Vikings in 824 ADSlide7

Bernard of Clairvaux – 12th AD“A place it was, truly sacred, the nursery of saints who brought forth fruit most abundantly to the Glory of God, insomuch that one of the sons of that holy congregation,

Molua by name, is alone reputed to have been the founder of a hundred monasteries... In short, so widely had its branches extended … … Nor was it only into the countries I have mentioned but even into distant lands that crowds of saints, like an inundation, poured “Slide8

Count Zinzendorf’s Moravians Moravians began a prayer movement in 1727 AD that prevailed in prayer for 100 years“On 5 August the Count spent the whole night in prayer … where great emotion prevailed”

“On 26 August, twenty four men and twenty four women covenanted together to continue praying in intervals of one hour each, day and night, each hour allocated by lots to different people”Slide9

TodayIn an April 2011 Google search, there were 17.5 million hits for the combined use of “corporate and prayer”; 151,000 were for the exact phrase “corporate prayer”.

There were also 95 new arrivals within 24 hours of the initial search! Slide10
