As an old saying goes, the law of prayer is the law of belief. The foundation and authority of Orthodox Catholic catechesis is and always has been the Divine Liturgy of the Church. Rooted in prayer and looking to the Lord, we discover the Orthodox Faith in the face of Christ.
With the late Rev. Alexander Schmemann’s important work Great Lent as our guide, this four-week series will take us through the liturgies of the Great Fast to help us experience them more fully and make the most out of the Church’s beautiful season of preparation for Pascha.
The liturgy is intricately intertwined with piety and theology. Join us as we explore how the liturgy draws us into the mystery of the Kingdom, enabling us to see the world in its light, and thus live more authentic Christian lives which integrate the mystery we celebrate with what we believe and what we live.
