There is a great reading program that allows you to read the writings of the first 7 centuries of the church. It is only 7 pages of reading a day. I have found it to be very rewarding. Unfortunately it does take 7 years to complete all the works. smirk
Still I think it is a good discipline.

I have looked and could not find another post regarding this program so If this is old news please forgive me. More information can be found in the links below.

A useful book for this is THE BIBLE AND THE HOLY FATHERS FOR ORTHODOX compiled by Johanna Manley:
This large (1134-page) volume contains the complete Gospel and Epistle texts for the entire year, arranged as used by the Orthodox Church, together with selected Old Testament readings for major feasts and Lenten periods. Supplementing each text are short commentaries from the Holy Fathers and some contemporary Orthodox theologians. The extensive indices, bibliography and appendices allow one to locate the reading for any fixed or movable feast or commemoration, as well as a listing of readings, commentaries and sources by subject.
