In this lecture on 2 Corinthians 3:13-18, Fr. Gabriel explores Paul's teaching that when a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty — unpacking the paradox that true freedom comes not from casting off all discipline but through turning away from self and toward God, since habitual sin actually binds our free will. He reflects on the powerful closing verse about beholding the glory of the Lord "as in a mirror" and being transformed "from glory to glory," connecting it to the prayer of Saint Patrick and the promise that Christ can dwell in and around us in all things, and shares a personal encounter with a holy monk on Mount Athos to illustrate how the Holy Spirit can speak through others when our hearts are sincerely seeking God.
