The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily III, Part II 1:01:57

3d ago1:01:57

1:01:57

Orthodoxy and Orthopraxis (right belief and right practice) are intimately tied together. All of the fathers and, in particular, Saint Isaac the Syrian want us to understand that our perception of revelation, who God is to us and what we have become in his Son through the Paschal mystery, and how we live our life are inseparable. God has revealed h…

The Evergetinos: Book Two - XXXII, Part III 56:44

5d ago56:44

56:44

The loss of the spirit of contrition can take place whenever our hearts become hardened; when we grow sluggish in the spiritual life or our attention shifts off of our own sin and need for God‘s mercy and is redirected towards the things of the world or to the sins of others. The desert fathers pull back the veil on the human heart and reveal the m…

Deliberate, But No Speed: How Supreme Court rulings have allowed public schools to remain segregated seventy years after Brown v. Board. 27:50

9d ago27:50

27:50

The hosts discuss how desegregation under Brown was hampered in schools by a policy of “all deliberate speed” where the speed was often zero. In contrast, and despite the fact that in large portions of the nation education is separate and unequal, the Trump administration has begun an “all speed ahead” policy of eliminating decrees which contained …

The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily III, Part I 1:06:19

17d ago1:06:19

1:06:19

Upon reading the beginning of this homily, one clearly gets the sense that Saint Isaac the Syrian wants our understanding of the spiritual life, who we are as human beings, and a relationship with God (who has created us in His image and likeness), to be set on a foundation that is unshakable. One must love Isaac for the effort! He is giving us eye…

The Evergetinos: Book Two - XXXII, Part II 1:04:12

19d ago1:04:12

1:04:12

At the end of many of these groups, my only thought is that the beauty of the writings of the fathers is exquisite. Often when reading them one is both pierced to the heart, but also raised up and consoled. This is surprisingly so in this hypothesis on contrition. None of the fathers’ writings appear to be an abstraction, but rather their words rev…

The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily II, Part V 1:12:05

24d ago1:12:05

1:12:05

What is it that forms and shapes us the most as human beings? What affects the way that we perceive reality and gives form to the thoughts that we have throughout the course of a day? Do we have any awareness of an interior life or are we simply drawn along by the flow of external realities; demands, responsibilities or forms of entertainment? Acco…

Jacquis Neal Has Never Seen 12 Angry Men 1:32:38

1:32:38

Jacquis Neal has never seen 12 Angry Men, but he rewrote it and we read his script! The men... they're angry. But you'll never guess how many of them there are. Folks who've seen it, how close was this? NOTE: There is some wild leaf blowing happening right outside the studio. I thought I cleaned out the sound in post but there might be some lingeri…

The Evergetinos: Book Two - XXXI, and XXXII, Part I 1:06:11

26d ago1:06:11

1:06:11

In their discussion of the struggle with the passions and in particular those associated with the bodily appetites and what we experienced through the senses, the fathers do not neglect to show us the effect that our thoughts and our lack of watchfulness can have upon the unconscious. Certain images and ideas will emerge from our dreams and often t…

The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily II, Part IV 1:08:52

1M ago1:08:52

1:08:52

Life in Christ is not an abstraction and the gospel is not simply a set of teachings or an ideology. It is clarion call to “Follow Me” from He who is the Lord of life and love. We are invited to participate in the mystery of Divine Life. Just as the fathers tell us that we are to “become prayer” and not simply engage in a discipline, likewise, we m…

The Evergetinos: Book Two - XXIX, Part IX and XXX 1:10:19

1M ago1:10:19

1:10:19

The more that I read the fathers’ writings and about their spiritual struggles, the more I understand that what we need to see is the desire that is the foundation their life and driving force behind their behaviors. Our life is to be an urgent longing for God who has given everything to us and revealed his desire to draw us into his life. Our spir…

The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily II, Part III 1:06:31

1M ago1:06:31

1:06:31

The experience of reading Saint Isaac the Syrian is something like being caught up in a vortex; not a linear explanation of the spiritual life or spiritual practices, but rather being drawn by the Holy Spirit that blows wherever It wills. It is not as though Isaac’s thought lacks cohesiveness, but rather he presents the life of faith and life in Ch…

The Evergetinos: Book Two - XXIX, Part VIII 1:12:03

1M ago1:12:03

1:12:03

What is the limit of our desire for God? What conditions do we set on our pursuit of virtue, constancy of prayer and the avoidance of sin? What emerges from the writings of the fathers is their willingness to sacrifice themselves and comfort in ways that are unimaginable to the modern mind. Beyond that their actions seem to be absurd and extreme to…

The Ascetical Homilies of St. Isaac the Syrian - Homily II, Part II 1:04:45

2M ago1:04:45

1:04:45

Gratitude is placing ourselves into the hands of God, trusting in His providence and allowing Him to guide us where He wills (without asking us for permission or our understanding His purpose). It is like having a bucket of cold water dumped over our heads. We are suddenly awakened and our whole being is set on edge. We realize in the words of Sain…

The Evergetinos: Book Two - XXIX, Part VII 58:27

2M ago58:27

58:27

We see clearly within the struggles of the desert fathers how difficult it can be to avoid extremes in thought and action. We see in them those filled with desire for God and striving for purity of heart; maintaining watchfulness and fostering a hatred of sin. Yet, how is one form and develop a sensitive conscience and awareness of the power of our…

2M ago1:01:55

1:01:55

After having spoken to us about the importance of being filled with wonder at the love and mercy of God revealed to us in Christ and desiring him above all things, Saint Isaac immediately stresses that what is born from the heart must be real and concrete. It is one thing for us to use beautiful words to speak about Christ and the faith. It is anot…
