St. Euthymios of Athos (the Georgian), writing in the 11th century said:
"The
Liturgy of St. James is indeed the true one which was first used in
Greece and also in our [Georigan] churches. When St. Basil and Blessed
John Chrysostom composed liturgies, people chose them because they were
short and thus forgot St. James. Now all celebrate the Liturgy of St.
Chrysostom, and the Liturgy of St. Basil during the Great Lent, but all
those who wish to celebrate the Liturgies of St. James and St. Peter are
completely right to do so."

As the world ages, even the love of Christians for prayer grows cool. If the Lord does not cut short the time, the world will be cold and dead. But, the Lord comes when He will to make all things anew.
Indeed, Fr. Finbarr, the love of many grows cold. When will the Man of Sin, the Apostle speaks of, be revealed?
