Here’s Part 1 of a series delving into the Holy Mysteries (the sacraments) in Orthodox Christianity. Too profound to fully define, yet undeniably real, these rites connect us in a personal and intimate way to Christ’s cross and empty tomb.

I’m delighted to share with you my first collaboration with my good friends at the Patristix YouTube Channel. God willing, it’s the first of many.
This is a session of the Fellowship of St. Theophan the Recluse (FOSTR), a world-wide online community of Eastern Orthodox seekers and inquirers. I’d only recorded audio at this session, and I’m very grateful to Brothers Robinson at Patristix for the wonderful artwork and video.

This is Saint Isaac the Syrian on the Feast of Christ Nativity: “This is the night of the most gentle one. Let no one be cruel. This is the night of the humble one. Let no one be proud. Now is the day of joy. Let us not revenge.” → [Watch Video]

Why is it so hard to be a Christian? How do we address habitual sin – the passions… our obsessions, compulsions, and addictions? Rooted in honesty and repentance, spiritual healing is a profound journey. Embrace the struggle with faith, prayer, and grace.
