Spiritual Growth Resources

Pray Simply, Pray Always

Do you want to pray more, but aren’t sure where to start? Draw some inspiration from the life of Symeon, a pious man profiled in the Greek language book Ascetics in the World.  As Steve Christoforou of Be the Bee explains, Symeon’s life shows us how even a simple rule of prayer can open our lives to God’s grace.

55 Maxims for Christian Living

In the previous video, Steve mentioned the third maxim of Fr. Thomas Hopko, “Pray as you can, not as you want.”  Fr. Thomas wrote 55 of these simple but profound maxims, all worth implementing in our daily lives.  Watch the video that follows learn all 55 maxims.  Great video to share with others!

Theosis I: Glowing with the Light of Christ

Finally, from the Theoria project is part one of a multi-part exploration of Theosis according to the Eastern Orthodox Church.  In this video Frederica sets the groundwork for everything that follows.

To hear more about theosis, you can also listen to this podcast by Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick as well:  That Man Might Become God.
