The progression from the first Sunday in Lent, which is dedicated to Orthodoxy, to the second Sunday, which is dedicated to Saint Gregory Palamas is of double significance: on the one hand it extends the feast of Orthodoxy, for which Saint Gregory Palamas struggled and suffered so greatly; and on the other, it underlines the need for the completion of Orthodoxy with orthopraxy , to which the saint also devoted himself with great zeal. Unless Orthodoxy is aligned and connected with orthopraxy, there can be no true Christian life. Saint Gregory Palamas (1269-1359) is one of the greatest Fathers of the Church. Indeed, on occasion he has been mentioned as the fourth hierarch, together with Basil the Great, Gregory the ...

Whatever has to do with the spiritual life, whatever we experience within the Church, can be dealt with in two ways: one is not to engage your heart with any of it at all. Everything is formal, theoretical and logical. The heart’s never touched, the heart’ s never concerned with all that’s happening in your spiritual life. In other words, people deliberately distance their heart from what’s going on and in this way are able to feel that, essentially, they’re even in control of things. This is a great trap, because whenever we discover that our heart’s on the outside of things, we realize that we, too, are on the outside, that we’re not taking part in the life of ...

(Kathisma, Matins).
